.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBEVP_SIGNATURE_fetch()\fR fetches the implementation for the given
\&\fBalgorithm\fR from any provider offering it, within the criteria given
by the \fBproperties\fR.
The algorithm will be one offering functions for performing signature related
tasks such as signing and verifying.
See "ALGORITHM FETCHING" in \fBcrypto\fR\|(7) for further information.
.PP
The returned value must eventually be freed with \fBEVP_SIGNATURE_free()\fR.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_SIGNATURE_free()\fR decrements the reference count for the \fBEVP_SIGNATURE\fR
structure. Typically this structure will have been obtained from an earlier call
to \fBEVP_SIGNATURE_fetch()\fR. If the reference count drops to 0 then the
structure is freed. If the argument is NULL, nothing is done.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_SIGNATURE_up_ref()\fR increments the reference count for an \fBEVP_SIGNATURE\fR
structure.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_SIGNATURE_is_a()\fR returns 1 if \fIsignature\fR is an implementation of an
algorithm that's identifiable with \fIname\fR, otherwise 0.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_SIGNATURE_get0_provider()\fR returns the provider that \fIsignature\fR was
fetched from.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_SIGNATURE_do_all_provided()\fR traverses all SIGNATURE implemented by all
activated providers in the given library context \fIlibctx\fR, and for each of the
implementations, calls the given function \fIfn\fR with the implementation method
and the given \fIarg\fR as argument.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_SIGNATURE_get0_name()\fR returns the algorithm name from the provided
implementation for the given \fIsignature\fR. Note that the \fIsignature\fR may have
multiple synonyms associated with it. In this case the first name from the
algorithm definition is returned. Ownership of the returned string is retained
by the \fIsignature\fR object and should not be freed by the caller.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_SIGNATURE_names_do_all()\fR traverses all names for \fIsignature\fR, and calls
\&\fIfn\fR with each name and \fIdata\fR.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_SIGNATURE_get0_description()\fR returns a description of the \fIsignature\fR,
meant for display and human consumption.  The description is at the
discretion of the \fIsignature\fR implementation.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_SIGNATURE_gettable_ctx_params()\fR and \fBEVP_SIGNATURE_settable_ctx_params()\fR
return a constant \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) array that describes the names and types of key
parameters that can be retrieved or set by a signature algorithm using
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_get_params\fR\|(3) and \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params\fR\|(3).
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBEVP_SIGNATURE_fetch()\fR returns a pointer to an \fBEVP_SIGNATURE\fR for success
or \fBNULL\fR for failure.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_SIGNATURE_up_ref()\fR returns 1 for success or 0 otherwise.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_SIGNATURE_names_do_all()\fR returns 1 if the callback was called for all names.
A return value of 0 means that the callback was not called for any names.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_SIGNATURE_gettable_ctx_params()\fR and \fBEVP_SIGNATURE_settable_ctx_params()\fR
return a constant \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) array or NULL on error.
