.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fB\s-1OSSL_PROVIDER\s0\fR is a type that holds internal information about
implementation providers (see \fIprovider\fR\|(7) for information on what a
provider is).
A provider can be built in to the application or the OpenSSL
libraries, or can be a loadable module.
The functions described here handle both forms.
.PP
Some of these functions operate within a library context, please see
\&\s-1\fIOPENSSL_CTX\s0\fR\|(3) for further details.
.SS "Functions"
.IX Subsection "Functions"
\&\fIOSSL_PROVIDER_add_builtin()\fR is used to add a built in provider to
\&\fB\s-1OSSL_PROVIDER\s0\fR store in the given library context, by associating a
provider name with a provider initialization function.
This name can then be used with \fIOSSL_PROVIDER_load()\fR.
.PP
\&\fIOSSL_PROVIDER_load()\fR loads and initializes a provider.
This may simply initialize a provider that was previously added with
\&\fIOSSL_PROVIDER_add_builtin()\fR and run its given initialization function,
or load a provider module with the given name and run its provider
entry point, \f(CW\*(C`OSSL_provider_init\*(C'\fR.
.PP
\&\fIOSSL_PROVIDER_unload()\fR unloads the given provider.
For a provider added with \fIOSSL_PROVIDER_add_builtin()\fR, this simply
runs its teardown function.
.PP
\&\fIOSSL_PROVIDER_available()\fR checks if a named provider is available
for use.
.PP
\&\fIOSSL_PROVIDER_gettable_params()\fR is used to get a provider parameter
descriptor set as a constant \fB\s-1OSSL_PARAM\s0\fR array.
See \s-1\fIOSSL_PARAM\s0\fR\|(3) for more information.
.PP
\&\fIOSSL_PROVIDER_get_params()\fR is used to get provider parameter values.
The caller must prepare the \fB\s-1OSSL_PARAM\s0\fR array before calling this
function, and the variables acting as buffers for this parameter array
should be filled with data when it returns successfully.
.PP
\&\fIOSSL_PROVIDER_name()\fR returns the name of the given provider.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fIOSSL_PROVIDER_add()\fR returns 1 on success, or 0 on error.
.PP
\&\fIOSSL_PROVIDER_load()\fR returns a pointer to a provider object on
success, or \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR on error.
.PP
\&\fIOSSL_PROVIDER_unload()\fR returns 1 on success, or 0 on error.
.PP
\&\fIOSSL_PROVIDER_available()\fR returns 1 if the named provider is available,
otherwise 0.
.PP
\&\fIOSSL_PROVIDER_gettable_params()\fR returns a pointer to an array
of constant \fB\s-1OSSL_PARAM\s0\fR, or \s-1NULL\s0 if none is provided.
.PP
\&\fIOSSL_PROVIDER_get_params()\fR returns 1 on success, or 0 on error.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.IX Header "EXAMPLES"
This demonstrates how to load the provider module \*(L"foo\*(R" and ask for
its build number.
