44 B<OSSL_ENCODER> is a method for encoders, which know how to
45 encode an object of some kind to a encoded form, such as PEM,
46 DER, or even human readable text.
48 OSSL_ENCODER_fetch() looks for an algorithm within the provider that
49 has been loaded into the B<OSSL_LIB_CTX> given by I<ctx>, having the
50 name given by I<name> and the properties given by I<properties>.
51 The I<name> determines what type of object the fetched encoder
52 method is expected to be able to encode, and the properties are
53 used to determine the expected output type.
54 For known properties and the values they may have, please have a look
55 in L<provider-encoder(7)/Names and properties>.
57 OSSL_ENCODER_up_ref() increments the reference count for the given
60 OSSL_ENCODER_free() decrements the reference count for the given
61 I<encoder>, and when the count reaches zero, frees it.
63 OSSL_ENCODER_provider() returns the provider of the given
66 OSSL_ENCODER_provider() returns the property definition associated
67 with the given I<encoder>.
69 OSSL_ENCODER_is_a() checks if I<encoder> is an implementation of an
70 algorithm that's identifiable with I<name>.
72 OSSL_ENCODER_number() returns the internal dynamic number assigned to
75 OSSL_ENCODER_names_do_all() traverses all names for the given
76 I<encoder>, and calls I<fn> with each name and I<data>.
78 OSSL_ENCODER_do_all_provided() traverses all encoder
79 implementations by all activated providers in the library context
80 I<libctx>, and for each of the implementations, calls I<fn> with the
81 implementation method and I<data> as arguments.
83 OSSL_ENCODER_gettable_params() returns an L<OSSL_PARAM(3)>
84 array of parameter descriptors.
86 OSSL_ENCODER_get_params() attempts to get parameters specified
87 with an L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> array I<params>. Parameters that the
88 implementation doesn't recognise should be ignored.
92 OSSL_ENCODER_fetch() may be called implicitly by other fetching
93 functions, using the same library context and properties.
94 Any other API that uses keys will typically do this.
98 OSSL_ENCODER_fetch() returns a pointer to the key management
99 implementation represented by an OSSL_ENCODER object, or NULL on
102 OSSL_ENCODER_up_ref() returns 1 on success, or 0 on error.
104 OSSL_ENCODER_free() doesn't return any value.
106 OSSL_ENCODER_provider() returns a pointer to a provider object, or
109 OSSL_ENCODER_properties() returns a pointer to a property
110 definition string, or NULL on error.
112 OSSL_ENCODER_is_a() returns 1 of I<encoder> was identifiable,
115 OSSL_ENCODER_number() returns an integer.
