| 5 EVP_PKEY_CTX_new, EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id, EVP_PKEY_CTX_dup, EVP_PKEY_CTX_free - pub
lic key algorithm context functions. |

| 7 =head1 SYNOPSIS |
| 8 |
| 9 #include <openssl/evp.h> |
| 10 |
| 11 EVP_PKEY_CTX *EVP_PKEY_CTX_new(EVP_PKEY *pkey, ENGINE *e); |
| 12 EVP_PKEY_CTX *EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id(int id, ENGINE *e); |
| 13 EVP_PKEY_CTX *EVP_PKEY_CTX_dup(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx); |
| 14 void EVP_PKEY_CTX_free(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx); |
| 15 |
| 16 =head1 DESCRIPTION |
| 17 |
| 18 The EVP_PKEY_CTX_new() function allocates public key algorithm context using |
| 19 the algorithm specified in B<pkey> and ENGINE B<e>. |
| 20 |
| 21 The EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id() function allocates public key algorithm context |
| 22 using the algorithm specified by B<id> and ENGINE B<e>. It is normally used |
| 23 when no B<EVP_PKEY> structure is associated with the operations, for example |
| 24 during parameter generation of key genration for some algorithms. |
| 25 |
| 26 EVP_PKEY_CTX_dup() duplicates the context B<ctx>. |
| 27 |
| 28 EVP_PKEY_CTX_free() frees up the context B<ctx>. |
| 29 |
| 30 =head1 NOTES |
| 31 |
| 32 The B<EVP_PKEY_CTX> structure is an opaque public key algorithm context used |
| 33 by the OpenSSL high level public key API. Contexts B<MUST NOT> be shared between |
| 34 threads: that is it is not permissible to use the same context simultaneously |
| 35 in two threads. |
| 36 |
| 37 =head1 RETURN VALUES |
| 38 |
| 39 EVP_PKEY_CTX_new(), EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id(), EVP_PKEY_CTX_dup() returns either |
| 40 the newly allocated B<EVP_PKEY_CTX> structure of B<NULL> if an error occurred. |
| 41 |
| 42 EVP_PKEY_CTX_free() does not return a value. |
