 The functions EC_KEY_get0_group, EC_KEY_set_group, EC_KEY_get0_private_key, EC_KEY_set_private_key, EC_KEY_get0_public_key, and EC_KEY_set_public_key get and set the EC_GROUP object, the private key and the EC_POINT public key for the B<key> respectively.
 
-The functions EC_KEY_get_enc_flags and EC_KEY_set_enc_flags get and set the value of the encoding flags for the B<key>. There are two encoding
-flags currently defined - EC_PKEY_NO_PARAMETERS and EC_PKEY_NO_PUBKEY.  These flags define the behaviour of how the  B<key> is
-converted into ASN1 in a call to i2d_ECPrivateKey. If EC_PKEY_NO_PARAMETERS is set then the public parameters for the curve are not encoded
-along with the private key. If EC_PKEY_NO_PUBKEY is set then the public key is not encoded along with the private key.

-When reading a private key encoded with EC_PKEY_NO_PUBKEY,
