  83. .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
  84. \&\fBOPENSSL_hexchar2int()\fR converts a hexadecimal character to its numeric
  85. equivalent.
  86. .PP
  87. \&\fBOPENSSL_hexstr2buf_ex()\fR decodes the hex string \fBstr\fR and places the
  88. resulting string of bytes in the given \fIbuf\fR.
  89. The character \fIsep\fR is the separator between the bytes, setting this to '\e0'
  90. means that there is no separator.
  91. \&\fIbuf_n\fR gives the size of the buffer.
  92. If \fIbuflen\fR is not NULL, it is filled in with the result length.
  93. To find out how large the result will be, call this function with NULL
  94. for \fIbuf\fR.
  95. Colons between two-character hex "bytes" are accepted and ignored.
  96. An odd number of hex digits is an error.
  97. .PP
  98. \&\fBOPENSSL_hexstr2buf()\fR does the same thing as \fBOPENSSL_hexstr2buf_ex()\fR,
  99. but allocates the space for the result, and returns the result. It uses a
  100. default separator of ':'.
  101. The memory is allocated by calling \fBOPENSSL_malloc()\fR and should be
  102. released by calling \fBOPENSSL_free()\fR.
  103. .PP
  104. \&\fBOPENSSL_buf2hexstr_ex()\fR encodes the contents of the given \fIbuf\fR with
  105. length \fIbuflen\fR and places the resulting hexadecimal character string
  106. in the given \fIstr\fR.
  107. The character \fIsep\fR is the separator between the bytes, setting this to '\e0'
  108. means that there is no separator.
  109. \&\fIstr_n\fR gives the size of the of the string buffer.
  110. If \fIstrlength\fR is not NULL, it is filled in with the result length.
  111. To find out how large the result will be, call this function with NULL
  112. for \fIstr\fR.
  113. .PP
  114. \&\fBOPENSSL_buf2hexstr()\fR does the same thing as \fBOPENSSL_buf2hexstr_ex()\fR,
  115. but allocates the space for the result, and returns the result. It uses a
  116. default separator of ':'.
  117. The memory is allocated by calling \fBOPENSSL_malloc()\fR and should be
  118. released by calling \fBOPENSSL_free()\fR.
  119. .SH "RETURN VALUES"
  120. .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
  121. OPENSSL_hexchar2int returns the value of a decoded hex character,
  122. or \-1 on error.
  123. .PP
  124. \&\fBOPENSSL_buf2hexstr()\fR and \fBOPENSSL_hexstr2buf()\fR
  125. return a pointer to allocated memory, or NULL on error.
  126. .PP
  127. \&\fBOPENSSL_buf2hexstr_ex()\fR and \fBOPENSSL_hexstr2buf_ex()\fR return 1 on
  128. success, or 0 on error.
