 =head1 DESCRIPTION
 
 evp_generic_fetch() calls ossl_method_construct() with the given
-C<libctx>, C<operation_id>, C<algorithm>, and C<properties> and uses
+I<libctx>, I<operation_id>, I<name>, and I<properties> and uses
 it to create an EVP method with the help of the functions
-C<new_method>, C<upref_method>, and C<free_method>.
+I<new_method>, I<up_ref_method>, and I<free_method>.
+
+evp_generic_fetch_by_number() does the same thing as evp_generic_fetch(), 
+but takes a numeric I<name_id> instead of a name.
+I<name_id> must always be nonzero; as a matter of fact, it being zero
+is considered a programming error.
+This is meant to be used when one method needs to fetch an associated
+other method, and is typically called from inside the given function
+I<new_method>.
