<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>
<p>EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_fetch() fetches the implementation for the given <b>algorithm</b> from any provider offering it, within the criteria given by the <b>properties</b> and in the scope of the given library context <b>ctx</b> (see <a href="../man3/OSSL_LIB_CTX.html">OSSL_LIB_CTX(3)</a>). The algorithm will be one offering functions for performing asymmetric cipher related tasks such as asymmetric encryption and decryption. See <a href="../man7/crypto.html">&quot;ALGORITHM FETCHING&quot; in crypto(7)</a> for further information.</p>
<p>The returned value must eventually be freed with EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_free().</p>
<p>EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_free() decrements the reference count for the <b>EVP_ASYM_CIPHER</b> structure. Typically this structure will have been obtained from an earlier call to EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_fetch(). If the reference count drops to 0 then the structure is freed.</p>
<p>EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_up_ref() increments the reference count for an <b>EVP_ASYM_CIPHER</b> structure.</p>
<p>EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_is_a() returns 1 if <i>cipher</i> is an implementation of an algorithm that&#39;s identifiable with <i>name</i>, otherwise 0.</p>
<p>EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_get0_provider() returns the provider that <i>cipher</i> was fetched from.</p>
<p>EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_do_all_provided() traverses all EVP_ASYM_CIPHERs implemented by all activated providers in the given library context <i>libctx</i>, and for each of the implementations, calls the given function <i>fn</i> with the implementation method and the given <i>arg</i> as argument.</p>
<p>EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_get0_name() returns the algorithm name from the provided implementation for the given <i>cipher</i>. Note that the <i>cipher</i> 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 <i>cipher</i> object and should not be freed by the caller.</p>
<p>EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_names_do_all() traverses all names for <i>cipher</i>, and calls <i>fn</i> with each name and <i>data</i>.</p>
<p>EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_get0_description() returns a description of the <i>cipher</i>, meant for display and human consumption. The description is at the discretion of the <i>cipher</i> implementation.</p>
<p>EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_gettable_ctx_params() and EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_settable_ctx_params() return a constant <a href="../man3/OSSL_PARAM.html">OSSL_PARAM(3)</a> array that describes the names and types of key parameters that can be retrieved or set by a key encryption algorithm using <a href="../man3/EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_params.html">EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_params(3)</a> and <a href="../man3/EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params.html">EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params(3)</a>.</p>
<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>
<p>EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_fetch() returns a pointer to an <b>EVP_ASYM_CIPHER</b> for success or <b>NULL</b> for failure.</p>
<p>EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_up_ref() returns 1 for success or 0 otherwise.</p>
<p>EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_names_do_all() 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.</p>
<p>EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_gettable_ctx_params() and EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_settable_ctx_params() return a constant <a href="../man3/OSSL_PARAM.html">OSSL_PARAM(3)</a> array or NULL on error.</p>
