101 A collection of utility functions that simplify and add type safety to the
102 OSSL_PARAM arrays. The following B<TYPE> names are supported:
144 unsigned long int (ulong)
148 OSSL_PARAM_TYPE() are a series of macros designed to assist initialising an
149 array of OSSL_PARAM structures.
150 Each of these macros defines a parameter of the specified B<TYPE> with the
151 provided B<key> and parameter variable B<address>.
153 OSSL_PARAM_utf8_string(), OSSL_PARAM_octet_string(), OSSL_PARAM_utf8_ptr(),
154 OSSL_PARAM_octet_ptr(), OSSL_PARAM_BN() are macros that provide support
155 for defining UTF8 strings, OCTET strings and big numbers.
156 A parameter with name B<key> is defined.
157 The storage for this parameter is at B<address> and is of B<size> bytes.
159 OSSL_PARAM_END provides an end of parameter list marker.
160 This should terminate all OSSL_PARAM arrays.
162 OSSL_PARAM_construct_TYPE() are a series of functions that create OSSL_PARAM
164 A parameter with name B<key> is created.
165 The parameter will use storage pointed to by B<buf> and return size of B<ret>.
167 OSSL_PARAM_construct_BN() is a function that constructs a large integer
168 OSSL_PARAM structure.
169 A parameter with name B<key>, storage B<buf>, size B<bsize> and return
170 size B<rsize> is created.
172 OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string() is a function that constructs a UTF8
173 string OSSL_PARAM structure.
174 A parameter with name B<key>, storage B<buf> and size B<bsize> is created.
175 If B<bsize> is zero, the string length is determined using strlen(3) + 1 for the
176 null termination byte.
177 Generally pass zero for B<bsize> instead of calling strlen(3) yourself.
179 OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_string() is a function that constructs an OCTET
180 string OSSL_PARAM structure.
181 A parameter with name B<key>, storage B<buf> and size B<bsize> is created.
183 OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_ptr() is a function that constructes a UTF string
184 pointer OSSL_PARAM structure.
185 A parameter with name B<key>, storage pointer B<*buf> and size B<bsize>
188 OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_ptr() is a function that constructes an OCTET string
189 pointer OSSL_PARAM structure.
190 A parameter with name B<key>, storage pointer B<*buf> and size B<bsize>
193 OSSL_PARAM_construct_end() is a function that constructs the terminating
194 OSSL_PARAM structure.
196 OSSL_PARAM_locate() is a function that searches an B<array> of parameters for
197 the one matching the B<key> name.
199 OSSL_PARAM_locate_const() behaves exactly like OSSL_PARAM_locate() except for
200 the presence of I<const> for the B<array> argument and its return value.
202 OSSL_PARAM_get_TYPE() retrieves a value of type B<TYPE> from the parameter B<p>.
203 The value is copied to the address B<val>.
204 Type coercion takes place as discussed in the NOTES section.
206 OSSL_PARAM_set_TYPE() stores a value B<val> of type B<TYPE> into the parameter
208 If the parameter's I<data> field is NULL, then only its I<return_size> field
209 will be assigned the size the parameter's I<data> buffer should have.
210 Type coercion takes place as discussed in the NOTES section.
212 OSSL_PARAM_get_BN() retrieves a BIGNUM from the parameter pointed to by B<p>.
213 The BIGNUM referenced by B<val> is updated and is allocated if B<*val> is
216 OSSL_PARAM_set_BN() stores the BIGNUM B<val> into the parameter B<p>.
217 If the parameter's I<data> field is NULL, then only its I<return_size> field
218 will be assigned the size the parameter's I<data> buffer should have.
220 OSSL_PARAM_get_utf8_string() retrieves a UTF8 string from the parameter
222 The string is either stored into B<*val> with a length limit of B<max_len> or,
223 in the case when B<*val> is B<NULL>, memory is allocated for the string and
224 B<max_len> is ignored.
225 If memory is allocated by this function, it must be freed by the caller.
227 OSSL_PARAM_set_utf8_string() sets a UTF8 string from the parameter pointed to
228 by B<p> to the value referenced by B<val>.
229 If the parameter's I<data> field is NULL, then only its I<return_size> field
230 will be assigned the size the parameter's I<data> buffer should have.
232 OSSL_PARAM_get_octet_string() retrieves an OCTET string from the parameter
234 The OCTETs are either stored into B<*val> with a length limit of B<max_len> or,
235 in the case when B<*val> is B<NULL>, memory is allocated and
236 B<max_len> is ignored. B<*used_len> is populated with the number of OCTETs
237 stored. If B<val> is NULL then the OCTETS are not stored, but B<*used_len> is
239 If memory is allocated by this function, it must be freed by the caller.
241 OSSL_PARAM_set_octet_string() sets an OCTET string from the parameter
242 pointed to by B<p> to the value referenced by B<val>.
243 If the parameter's I<data> field is NULL, then only its I<return_size> field
244 will be assigned the size the parameter's I<data> buffer should have.
246 OSSL_PARAM_get_utf8_ptr() retrieves the UTF8 string pointer from the parameter
247 referenced by B<p> and stores it in B<*val>.
249 OSSL_PARAM_set_utf8_ptr() sets the UTF8 string pointer in the parameter
250 referenced by B<p> to the values B<val>.
252 OSSL_PARAM_get_octet_ptr() retrieves the OCTET string pointer from the parameter
253 referenced by B<p> and stores it in B<*val>.
254 The length of the OCTET string is stored in B<*used_len>.
256 OSSL_PARAM_set_octet_ptr() sets the OCTET string pointer in the parameter
257 referenced by B<p> to the values B<val>.
258 The length of the OCTET string is provided by B<used_len>.
260 The OSSL_PARAM_UNMODIFIED macro is used to detect if a parameter was set. On
261 creation, via either the macros or construct calls, the I<return_size> field
262 is set to this. If the parameter is set using the calls defined herein, the
263 I<return_size> field is changed.
265 OSSL_PARAM_modified() queries if the parameter B<param> has been set or not
266 using the calls defined herein.
268 OSSL_PARAM_set_all_unmodified() resets the unused indicator for all parameters
269 in the array B<params>.
273 OSSL_PARAM_construct_TYPE(), OSSL_PARAM_construct_BN(),
274 OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string(), OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_string(),
275 OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_ptr() and OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_ptr()
276 return a populated OSSL_PARAM structure.
278 OSSL_PARAM_locate() and OSSL_PARAM_locate_const() return a pointer to
279 the matching OSSL_PARAM object. They return B<NULL> on error or when
280 no object matching B<key> exists in the B<array>.
282 OSSL_PARAM_modified() returns B<1> if the parameter was set and B<0> otherwise.
284 All other functions return B<1> on success and B<0> on failure.
288 Native types will be converted as required only if the value is exactly
289 representable by the target type or parameter.
290 Apart from that, the functions must be used appropriately for the
291 expected type of the parameter.
293 For OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_ptr() and OSSL_PARAM_consstruct_octet_ptr(),
294 B<bsize> is not relevant if the purpose is to send the B<OSSL_PARAM> array
295 to a I<responder>, i.e. to get parameter data back.
296 In that case, B<bsize> can safely be given zero.
297 See L<OSSL_PARAM(3)/DESCRIPTION> for further information on the
302 Reusing the examples from L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> to just show how
303 C<OSSL_PARAM> arrays can be handled using the macros and functions
308 This example is for setting parameters on some object:
310 #include <openssl/core.h>
312 const char *foo = "some string";
313 size_t foo_l = strlen(foo) + 1;
314 const char bar[] = "some other string";
315 const OSSL_PARAM set[] = {
316 OSSL_PARAM_utf8_ptr("foo", foo, foo_l),
317 OSSL_PARAM_utf8_string("bar", bar, sizeof(bar)),
323 This example is for requesting parameters on some object, and also
324 demonstrates that the requestor isn't obligated to request all
325 available parameters:
327 const char *foo = NULL;
329 OSSL_PARAM request[] = {
330 OSSL_PARAM_utf8_ptr("foo", foo, 0),
331 OSSL_PARAM_utf8_string("bar", bar, sizeof(bar)),
335 A I<responder> that receives this array (as C<params> in this example)
336 could fill in the parameters like this:
338 /* OSSL_PARAM *params */
342 if ((p = OSSL_PARAM_locate(params, "foo")) == NULL)
343 OSSL_PARAM_set_utf8_ptr(p, "foo value");
344 if ((p = OSSL_PARAM_locate(params, "bar")) == NULL)
345 OSSL_PARAM_set_utf8_ptr(p, "bar value");
346 if ((p = OSSL_PARAM_locate(params, "cookie")) == NULL)
347 OSSL_PARAM_set_utf8_ptr(p, "cookie value");
