<h1><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></h1>
<p><code>EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_fetch()</code> fetches the implementation for the given
<strong>algorithm</strong> from any provider offering it, within the criteria given
by the <strong>properties</strong> and in the scope of the given library context <strong>ctx</strong> (see
<em>OPENSSL_CTX(3)</em>). The algorithm will be one offering functions for performing
asymmetric cipher related tasks such as asymmetric encryption and decryption.
See <em>provider(7)/Fetching algorithms</em> for further information.</p>
<p>The returned value must eventually be freed with <code>EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_free()</code>.</p>
<p><code>EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_free()</code> decrements the reference count for the <strong>EVP_ASYM_CIPHER</strong>
structure. Typically this structure will have been obtained from an earlier call
to <code>EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_fetch()</code>. If the reference count drops to 0 then the
structure is freed.</p>
<p><code>EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_up_ref()</code> increments the reference count for an
<strong>EVP_ASYM_CIPHER</strong> structure.</p>
<p><code>EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_is_a()</code> returns 1 if <em>cipher</em> is an implementation of an
algorithm that's identifiable with <em>name</em>, otherwise 0.</p>
<p><code>EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_provider()</code> returns the provider that <em>cipher</em> was fetched from.</p>
<p><code>EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_do_all_provided()</code> traverses all EVP_ASYM_CIPHERs implemented by
all activated providers in the given library context <em>libctx</em>, and for each of
the implementations, calls the given function <em>fn</em> with the implementation
method and the given <em>arg</em> as argument.</p>
<p><code>EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_number()</code> returns the internal dynamic number assigned to
<em>cipher</em>.</p>
<p><code>EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_names_do_all()</code> traverses all names for <em>cipher</em>, and calls
<em>fn</em> with each name and <em>data</em>.</p>
<p>
</p>
<hr />
<h1><a name="return_values">RETURN VALUES</a></h1>
<p><code>EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_fetch()</code> returns a pointer to an <strong>EVP_ASYM_CIPHER</strong> for success
or <strong>NULL</strong> for failure.</p>
<p><code>EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_up_ref()</code> returns 1 for success or 0 otherwise.</p>
