DESCRIPTION

30       See OSSL_PARAM(3) for information about parameters.
31
32       EVP_PKEY_get_params() retrieves parameters from the key pkey, according
33       to the contents of params.
34
35       EVP_PKEY_gettable_params() returns a constant list of params indicating
36       the names and types of key parameters that can be retrieved.
37
38       An OSSL_PARAM(3) of type OSSL_PARAM_INTEGER or
39       OSSL_PARAM_UNSIGNED_INTEGER is of arbitrary length. Such a parameter
40       can be obtained using any of the functions EVP_PKEY_get_int_param(),
41       EVP_PKEY_get_size_t_param() or EVP_PKEY_get_bn_param(). Attempting to
42       obtain an integer value that does not fit into a native C int type will
43       cause EVP_PKEY_get_int_param() to fail. Similarly attempting to obtain
44       an integer value that is negative or does not fit into a native C
45       size_t type using EVP_PKEY_get_size_t_param() will also fail.
46
47       EVP_PKEY_get_int_param() retrieves a key pkey integer value *out
48       associated with a name of key_name if it fits into "int" type. For
49       parameters that do not fit into "int" use EVP_PKEY_get_bn_param().
50
51       EVP_PKEY_get_size_t_param() retrieves a key pkey size_t value *out
52       associated with a name of key_name if it fits into "size_t" type. For
53       parameters that do not fit into "size_t" use EVP_PKEY_get_bn_param().
54
55       EVP_PKEY_get_bn_param() retrieves a key pkey BIGNUM value **bn
56       associated with a name of key_name. If *bn is NULL then the BIGNUM is
57       allocated by the method.
58
59       EVP_PKEY_get_utf8_string_param() get a key pkey UTF8 string value into
60       a buffer str of maximum size max_buf_sz associated with a name of
61       key_name.  The maximum size must be large enough to accomodate the
62       string value including a terminating NUL byte, or this function will
63       fail.  If out_len is not NULL, *out_len is set to the length of the
64       string not including the terminating NUL byte. The required buffer size
65       not including the terminating NUL byte can be obtained from *out_len by
66       calling the function with str set to NULL.
67
68       EVP_PKEY_get_octet_string_param() get a key pkey's octet string value
69       into a buffer buf of maximum size max_buf_sz associated with a name of
70       key_name.  If out_len is not NULL, *out_len is set to the length of the
71       contents.  The required buffer size can be obtained from *out_len by
72       calling the function with buf set to NULL.
73

NOTES

75       These functions only work for EVP_PKEYs that contain a provider side
76       key.
77

RETURN VALUES

79       EVP_PKEY_gettable_params() returns NULL on error or if it is not
80       supported.
81
82       All other methods return 1 if a value associated with the key's
83       key_name was successfully returned, or 0 if there was an error.  An
84       error may be returned by methods EVP_PKEY_get_utf8_string_param() and
85       EVP_PKEY_get_octet_string_param() if max_buf_sz is not big enough to
86       hold the value.  If out_len is not NULL, *out_len will be assigned the
87       required buffer size to hold the value.
