.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fIEVP_ASYM_CIPHER_fetch()\fR fetches the implementation for the given
\&\fBalgorithm\fR from any provider offering it, within the criteria given
by the \fBproperties\fR and in the scope of the given library context \fBctx\fR (see
\&\s-1\fIOPENSSL_CTX\s0\fR\|(3)). The algorithm will be one offering functions for performing
asymmetric cipher related tasks such as asymmetric encryption and decryption.
See \*(L"Fetching algorithms\*(R" in \fIprovider\fR\|(7) for further information.
.PP
The returned value must eventually be freed with \fIEVP_ASYM_CIPHER_free()\fR.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_ASYM_CIPHER_free()\fR decrements the reference count for the \fB\s-1EVP_ASYM_CIPHER\s0\fR
structure. Typically this structure will have been obtained from an earlier call
to \fIEVP_ASYM_CIPHER_fetch()\fR. If the reference count drops to 0 then the
structure is freed.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_ASYM_CIPHER_up_ref()\fR increments the reference count for an
\&\fB\s-1EVP_ASYM_CIPHER\s0\fR structure.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_ASYM_CIPHER_is_a()\fR returns 1 if \fIcipher\fR is an implementation of an
algorithm that's identifiable with \fIname\fR, otherwise 0.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_ASYM_CIPHER_provider()\fR returns the provider that \fIcipher\fR was fetched from.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_ASYM_CIPHER_do_all_provided()\fR traverses all EVP_ASYM_CIPHERs 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
\&\fIEVP_ASYM_CIPHER_number()\fR returns the internal dynamic number assigned to
\&\fIcipher\fR.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_ASYM_CIPHER_names_do_all()\fR traverses all names for \fIcipher\fR, and calls
\&\fIfn\fR with each name and \fIdata\fR.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fIEVP_ASYM_CIPHER_fetch()\fR returns a pointer to an \fB\s-1EVP_ASYM_CIPHER\s0\fR for success
or \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR for failure.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_ASYM_CIPHER_up_ref()\fR returns 1 for success or 0 otherwise.
