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_CTX_new, EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id, EVP_PKEY_CTX_dup, EVP_PKEY_CTX_free - public key algorithm context functions
|
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
#include <openssl/evp.h>
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_CTX *EVP_PKEY_CTX_new(EVP_PKEY *pkey, ENGINE *e);
|
|
EVP_PKEY_CTX *EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id(int id, ENGINE *e);
|
|
EVP_PKEY_CTX *EVP_PKEY_CTX_dup(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
|
|
void EVP_PKEY_CTX_free(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The EVP_PKEY_CTX_new() function allocates public key algorithm context using
|
|
the algorithm specified in B<pkey> and ENGINE B<e>.
|
|
|
|
The EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id() function allocates public key algorithm context
|
|
using the algorithm specified by B<id> and ENGINE B<e>. It is normally used
|
|
when no B<EVP_PKEY> structure is associated with the operations, for example
|
|
during parameter generation of key generation for some algorithms.
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_CTX_dup() duplicates the context B<ctx>.
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_CTX_free() frees up the context B<ctx>.
|
|
If B<ctx> is NULL, nothing is done.
|
|
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
|
|
|
The B<EVP_PKEY_CTX> structure is an opaque public key algorithm context used
|
|
by the OpenSSL high level public key API. Contexts B<MUST NOT> be shared between
|
|
threads: that is it is not permissible to use the same context simultaneously
|
|
in two threads.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_CTX_new(), EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id(), EVP_PKEY_CTX_dup() returns either
|
|
the newly allocated B<EVP_PKEY_CTX> structure of B<NULL> if an error occurred.
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_CTX_free() does not return a value.
