All \*(L"functions\*(R" mentioned here are passed as function pointers between
\&\fIlibcrypto\fR and the provider in \s-1\fBOSSL_DISPATCH\s0\fR\|(3) arrays, in the call
of the provider initialization function.  See \*(L"Provider\*(R" in \fBprovider\fR\|(7)
for a description of the initialization function. They are known as \*(L"upcalls\*(R".
.PP
All these \*(L"functions\*(R" have a corresponding function type definition
named \fBOSSL_FUNC_{name}_fn\fR, and a helper function to retrieve the
function pointer from a \s-1\fBOSSL_DISPATCH\s0\fR\|(3) element named
\&\fBOSSL_FUNC_{name}\fR.
For example, the \*(L"function\*(R" \fBcore_gettable_params()\fR has these:

.SS "Core functions"
.IX Subsection "Core functions"
\&\fBcore_gettable_params()\fR returns a constant array of descriptor
\&\s-1\fBOSSL_PARAM\s0\fR\|(3), for parameters that \fBcore_get_params()\fR can handle.
.PP
\&\fBcore_get_params()\fR retrieves parameters from the core for the given \fIhandle\fR.
See \*(L"Core parameters\*(R" below for a description of currently known
parameters.
.PP
The \fBcore_thread_start()\fR function informs the core that the provider has stated
an interest in the current thread. The core will inform the provider when the
thread eventually stops. It must be passed the \fIhandle\fR for this provider, as
well as a callback \fIhandfn\fR which will be called when the thread stops. The
callback will subsequently be called, with the supplied argument \fIarg\fR, from
the thread that is stopping and gets passed the provider context as an
argument. This may be useful to perform thread specific clean up such as
freeing thread local variables.
.PP
\&\fBcore_get_libctx()\fR retrieves the core context in which the library
object for the current provider is stored, accessible through the \fIhandle\fR.
This function is useful only for built-in providers such as the default
provider. Never cast this to \s-1OSSL_LIB_CTX\s0 in a provider that is not
built-in as the \s-1OSSL_LIB_CTX\s0 of the library loading the provider might be
a completely different structure than the \s-1OSSL_LIB_CTX\s0 of the library the
provider is linked to. Use  \fBOSSL_LIB_CTX_new_child\fR\|(3) instead to obtain
a proper library context that is linked to the application library context.
.PP
\&\fBcore_new_error()\fR, \fBcore_set_error_debug()\fR and \fBcore_vset_error()\fR are
building blocks for reporting an error back to the core, with
reference to the \fIhandle\fR.
.IP "\fBcore_new_error()\fR" 4
.IX Item "core_new_error()"
allocates a new thread specific error record.
.Sp
This corresponds to the OpenSSL function \fBERR_new\fR\|(3).
.IP "\fBcore_set_error_debug()\fR" 4
.IX Item "core_set_error_debug()"
sets debugging information in the current thread specific error
record.
The debugging information includes the name of the file \fIfile\fR, the
line \fIline\fR and the function name \fIfunc\fR where the error occurred.
.Sp
This corresponds to the OpenSSL function \fBERR_set_debug\fR\|(3).
.IP "\fBcore_vset_error()\fR" 4
.IX Item "core_vset_error()"
sets the \fIreason\fR for the error, along with any addition data.
The \fIreason\fR is a number defined by the provider and used to index
the reason strings table that's returned by
\&\fBprovider_get_reason_strings()\fR.
The additional data is given as a format string \fIfmt\fR and a set of
arguments \fIargs\fR, which are treated in the same manner as with
\&\fBBIO_vsnprintf()\fR.
\&\fIfile\fR and \fIline\fR may also be passed to indicate exactly where the

The \fBcore_obj_create()\fR function registers a new \s-1OID\s0 and associated short name
\&\fIsn\fR and long name \fIln\fR for the given \fIhandle\fR. It is similar to the OpenSSL
function \fBOBJ_create\fR\|(3) except that it returns 1 on success or 0 on failure.
It will treat as success the case where the \s-1OID\s0 already exists (even if the
short name \fIsn\fR or long name \fIln\fR provided as arguments differ from those
associated with the existing \s-1OID,\s0 in which case the new names are not
associated).
.PP
The \fBcore_obj_add_sigid()\fR function registers a new composite signature algorithm
(\fIsign_name\fR) consisting of an underlying signature algorithm (\fIpkey_name\fR)
and digest algorithm (\fIdigest_name\fR) for the given \fIhandle\fR. It assumes that
the OIDs for the composite signature algorithm as well as for the underlying
signature and digest algorithms are either already known to OpenSSL or have been
registered via a call to \fBcore_obj_create()\fR. It corresponds to the OpenSSL
function \fBOBJ_add_sigid\fR\|(3), except that the objects are identified by name
rather than a numeric \s-1NID.\s0 Any name (\s-1OID,\s0 short name or long name) can be used
to identify the object. It will treat as success the case where the composite
signature algorithm already exists (even if registered against a different
underlying signature or digest algorithm). For \fIdigest_name\fR, \s-1NULL\s0 or an
empty string is permissible for signature algorithms that do not need a digest
to operate correctly. The function returns 1 on success or 0 on failure.

it a set of \s-1\fBOSSL_PARAM\s0\fR\|(3)s and the caller supplied argument \fIarg\fR. The

This parameter is optional: if not specified, \s-1KEX\s0 mode is assumed as the default

In \s-1KEX\s0 mode, in a typical Diffie-Hellman fashion, both sides execute \fIkeygen\fR

In \s-1KEM\s0 mode, the client executes \fIkeygen\fR and sends its public key, the server
executes \fIencapsulate\fR using the client's public key and sends back the

These parameters can be used to describe the minimum and maximum \s-1TLS\s0
versions supported by the signature algorithm. The values equate to the
on-the-wire encoding of the various \s-1TLS\s0 versions. For example TLSv1.3 is
0x0304 (772 decimal), and TLSv1.2 is 0x0303 (771 decimal). A 0 indicates that
there is no defined minimum or maximum. A \-1 indicates that the signature
algorithm should not be used in that protocol.
Presently values representing anything other than \s-1TLS1.3\s0 mean that the
complete algorithm is ignored.
