  176. .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
  177. \&\fBEVP_SIGNATURE_fetch()\fR fetches the implementation for the given
  178. \&\fBalgorithm\fR from any provider offering it, within the criteria given
  179. by the \fBproperties\fR.
  180. The algorithm will be one offering functions for performing signature related
  181. tasks such as signing and verifying.
  182. See \*(L"\s-1ALGORITHM FETCHING\*(R"\s0 in \fBcrypto\fR\|(7) for further information.
  183. .PP
  184. The returned value must eventually be freed with \fBEVP_SIGNATURE_free()\fR.
  185. .PP
  186. \&\fBEVP_SIGNATURE_free()\fR decrements the reference count for the \fB\s-1EVP_SIGNATURE\s0\fR
  187. structure. Typically this structure will have been obtained from an earlier call
  188. to \fBEVP_SIGNATURE_fetch()\fR. If the reference count drops to 0 then the
  189. structure is freed. If the argument is \s-1NULL,\s0 nothing is done.
  190. .PP
  191. \&\fBEVP_SIGNATURE_up_ref()\fR increments the reference count for an \fB\s-1EVP_SIGNATURE\s0\fR
  192. structure.
  193. .PP
  194. \&\fBEVP_SIGNATURE_is_a()\fR returns 1 if \fIsignature\fR is an implementation of an
  195. algorithm that's identifiable with \fIname\fR, otherwise 0.
  196. .PP
  197. \&\fBEVP_SIGNATURE_get0_provider()\fR returns the provider that \fIsignature\fR was
  198. fetched from.
  199. .PP
  200. \&\fBEVP_SIGNATURE_do_all_provided()\fR traverses all \s-1SIGNATURE\s0 implemented by all
  201. activated providers in the given library context \fIlibctx\fR, and for each of the
  202. implementations, calls the given function \fIfn\fR with the implementation method
  203. and the given \fIarg\fR as argument.
  204. .PP
  205. \&\fBEVP_SIGNATURE_get0_name()\fR returns the algorithm name from the provided
  206. implementation for the given \fIsignature\fR. Note that the \fIsignature\fR may have
  207. multiple synonyms associated with it. In this case the first name from the
  208. algorithm definition is returned. Ownership of the returned string is retained
  209. by the \fIsignature\fR object and should not be freed by the caller.
  210. .PP
  211. \&\fBEVP_SIGNATURE_names_do_all()\fR traverses all names for \fIsignature\fR, and calls
  212. \&\fIfn\fR with each name and \fIdata\fR.
  213. .PP
  214. \&\fBEVP_SIGNATURE_get0_description()\fR returns a description of the \fIsignature\fR,
  215. meant for display and human consumption. The description is at the
  216. discretion of the \fIsignature\fR implementation.
  217. .PP
  218. \&\fBEVP_SIGNATURE_gettable_ctx_params()\fR and \fBEVP_SIGNATURE_settable_ctx_params()\fR
  219. return a constant \s-1\fBOSSL_PARAM\s0\fR\|(3) array that describes the names and types of key
  220. parameters that can be retrieved or set by a signature algorithm using
  221. \&\fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_get_params\fR\|(3) and \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params\fR\|(3).
  222. .SH "RETURN VALUES"
  223. .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
  224. \&\fBEVP_SIGNATURE_fetch()\fR returns a pointer to an \fB\s-1EVP_SIGNATURE\s0\fR for success
  225. or \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR for failure.
  226. .PP
  227. \&\fBEVP_SIGNATURE_up_ref()\fR returns 1 for success or 0 otherwise.
  228. .PP
  229. \&\fBEVP_SIGNATURE_names_do_all()\fR returns 1 if the callback was called for all names.
  230. A return value of 0 means that the callback was not called for any names.
  231. .PP
  232. \&\fBEVP_SIGNATURE_gettable_ctx_params()\fR and \fBEVP_SIGNATURE_settable_ctx_params()\fR
  233. return a constant \s-1\fBOSSL_PARAM\s0\fR\|(3) array or \s-1NULL\s0 on error.
