The algorithm will be one offering functions for performing signature related tasks such as signing and verifying. See L for further information. The returned value must eventually be freed with EVP_SIGNATURE_free(). EVP_SIGNATURE_free() decrements the reference count for the B structure. Typically this structure will have been obtained from an earlier call to EVP_SIGNATURE_fetch(). If the reference count drops to 0 then the structure is freed. EVP_SIGNATURE_up_ref() increments the reference count for an B structure. EVP_SIGNATURE_is_a() returns 1 if I is an implementation of an algorithm that's identifiable with I, otherwise 0. EVP_SIGNATURE_get0_provider() returns the provider that I was fetched from. EVP_SIGNATURE_do_all_provided() traverses all SIGNATURE implemented by all activated roviders in the given library context I, and for each of the implementations, calls the given function I with the implementation method and the given I as argument. EVP_SIGNATURE_get0_name() returns the algorithm name from the provided implementation for the given I. Note that the I may have multiple synonyms associated with it. In this case the first name from the algorithm definition is returned. Ownership of the returned string is retained by the I object and should not be freed by the caller. EVP_SIGNATURE_names_do_all() traverses all names for I, and calls I with each name and I. EVP_SIGNATURE_get0_description() returns a description of the I, meant for display and human consumption. The description is at the discretion of the I implementation. EVP_SIGNATURE_gettable_ctx_params() and EVP_SIGNATURE_settable_ctx_params() return a constant B array that describes the names and types of key parameters that can be retrieved or set by a signature algorithm using L and L. =head1 RETURN VALUES EVP_SIGNATURE_fetch() returns a pointer to an B for success or B for failure. EVP_SIGNATURE_up_ref() returns 1 for success or 0 otherwise. EVP_SIGNATURE_names_do_all() returns 1 if the callback was called for all names. A return value of 0 means that the callback was not called for any names. EVP_SIGNATURE_gettable_ctx_params() and EVP_SIGNATURE_settable_ctx_params() return a constant B array or NULL on error. =head1 SEE ALSO L, L =head1 HISTORY The functions described here were added in OpenSSL 3.0. =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright 2019-2021 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
