Methods are expected to be library internal structures. It's left to the caller to define the exact contents. Numeric identities are expected to be an algorithm identity for the methods. It's left to the caller to define exactly what an algorithm is, and to allocate these numeric identities accordingly. The B also holds an internal query cache, which is accessed separately (see L below). =head2 Store Functions ossl_method_store_init() initialises the method store subsystem in the scope of the library context B. ossl_method_store_cleanup() cleans up and shuts down the implementation method store subsystem in the scope of the library context B. ossl_method_store_new() create a new empty method store using the supplied B to allow access to the required underlying property data. ossl_method_store_free() frees resources allocated to B. ossl_method_store_add() adds the B to the B as an instance of an algorithm indicated by B and the property definition B. The optional B function is called when B is being released from B. ossl_method_store_remove() removes the B identified by B from the B. ossl_method_store_fetch() queries B for an method identified by B that matches the property query B. The result, if any, is returned in B. ossl_method_store_set_global_properties() sets method B wide query properties to B. All subsequent fetches will need to meet both these global query properties and the ones passed to the ossl_method_store_free(). =head2 Cache Functions ossl_method_store_cache_get() queries the cache associated with the B for an method identified by B that matches the property query B. The result, if any, is returned in B. ossl_method_store_cache_set() sets a cache entry identified by B with the property query B in the B. Future cache gets will return the specified B. =head1 RETURN VALUES ossl_method_store_new() a new method store object or B on failure. ossl_method_store_free(), ossl_method_store_add(), ossl_method_store_remove(), ossl_method_store_fetch(), ossl_method_store_set_global_properties(), ossl_method_store_cache_get() and ossl_method_store_cache_set() return B<1> on success and B<0> on error. ossl_method_store_free() and ossl_method_store_cleanup() do not return values. =head1 HISTORY This functionality was added to OpenSSL 3.0.0. =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright 2019 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
