While stereotyped repetitions are frowned upon in literature, they serve a useful purpose in manual pages, because it is easier for the user to find certain information if it is always presented in the same way. For that reason, this commit harmonizes the varying formulations in the HISTORY section about which functions, flags, etc. were added in which OpenSSL version. It also attempts to make the pod files more grep friendly by avoiding to insert line breaks between the symbol names and the corresponding version number in which they were introduced (wherever possible). Some punctuation and typographical errors were fixed on the way. Reviewed-by: Tim Hudson <tjh@openssl.org> (Merged from https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/7854)

=head1 NAME
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_get_default_digest_nid - get default signature digest
|
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
#include <openssl/evp.h>
|
|
int EVP_PKEY_get_default_digest_nid(EVP_PKEY *pkey, int *pnid);
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The EVP_PKEY_get_default_digest_nid() function sets B<pnid> to the default
|
|
message digest NID for the public key signature operations associated with key
|
|
B<pkey>. Note that some signature algorithms (i.e. Ed25519 and Ed448) do not use
|
|
a digest during signing. In this case B<pnid> will be set to NID_undef.
|
|
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
|
|
|
For all current standard OpenSSL public key algorithms SHA256 is returned.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
The EVP_PKEY_get_default_digest_nid() function returns 1 if the message digest
|
|
is advisory (that is other digests can be used) and 2 if it is mandatory (other
|
|
digests can not be used). It returns 0 or a negative value for failure. In
|
|
particular a return value of -2 indicates the operation is not supported by the
|
|
public key algorithm.
