=head1 NAME
ossl_namemap_new, ossl_namemap_free, ossl_namemap_stored,
ossl_namemap_add, ossl_namemap_name, ossl_namemap_number
- internal number E<lt>-E<gt> name map
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include "internal/cryptlib.h"
OSSL_NAMEMAP *ossl_namemap_stored(OPENSSL_CTX *libctx);
OSSL_NAMEMAP *ossl_namemap_new(void);
void ossl_namemap_free(OSSL_NAMEMAP *namemap);
int ossl_namemap_add(OSSL_NAMEMAP *namemap, const char *name);
const char *ossl_namemap_name(const OSSL_NAMEMAP *namemap, int number);
int ossl_namemap_number(const OSSL_NAMEMAP *namemap, const char *name);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
A B<OSSL_NAMEMAP> is a simple number E<lt>-E<gt> name map, which can
be used to give any arbitrary name (any string) a unique dynamic
identity that is valid throughout the lifetime of the associated
library context.
ossl_namemap_new() and ossl_namemap_free() construct and destruct a
new B<OSSL_NAMEMAP>.
This is suitable to use when the B<OSSL_NAMEMAP> is embedded in other
structures, or should be independent for any reason.
ossl_namemap_stored() finds or auto-creates the default namemap in the
given library context.
The returned B<OSSL_NAMEMAP> can't be destructed using
ossl_namemap_free().
ossl_namemap_add() adds a new name to the namemap if it's not already
present.
ossl_namemap_name() finds the name corresponding to the given number.
ossl_namemap_number() finds the number corresponding to the given
name.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
ossl_namemap_new() and ossl_namemap_stored() return the pointer to a
B<OSSL_NAMEMAP>, or NULL on error.
ossl_namemap_add() returns the number associated with the added
string, or zero on error.
ossl_namemap_name() returns a pointer to the name corresponding to the
given number, or NULL if it's undefined in the given B<OSSL_NAMEMAP>.
ossl_namemap_number() returns the number corresponding to the given
name, or 0 if it's undefined in the given B<OSSL_NAMEMAP>.
