=head1 NAME

EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_iv, EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_iv_state, EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv, EVP_CIPHER_CTX_original_iv, EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv_noconst - Routines to inspect EVP_CIPHER_CTX IV data

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/evp.h>

 int EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_iv(EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx, void *buf, size_t len);
 int EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_iv_state(EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx, void *buf, size_t len);
 const unsigned char *EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv(const EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx);
 const unsigned char *EVP_CIPHER_CTX_original_iv(const EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx);
 unsigned char *EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv_noconst(EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_iv() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_iv_state() copy initialization
vector (IV) information from the B<EVP_CIPHER_CTX> into the caller-supplied
buffer.  L<EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv_length(3)> can be used to determine an
appropriate buffer size, and if the supplied buffer is too small, an error
will be returned (and no data copied).  EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_iv() accesses the
("original") IV that was supplied when the B<EVP_CIPHER_CTX> was created, and
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_iv_state() accesses the current "IV state" of the cipher,
which is updated during cipher operation for certain cipher modes (e.g., CBC
and OFB).

The functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_original_iv(), and
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv_noconst() are deprecated functions that provide similar (at
a conceptual level) functionality.  EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv() returns a pointer to
the beginning of the "IV state" as maintained internally in the
B<EVP_CIPHER_CTX>; EVP_CIPHER_CTX_original_iv() returns a pointer to the
beginning of the ("original") IV, as maintained by the B<EVP_CIPHER_CTX>, that
was provided when the B<EVP_CIPHER_CTX> was initialized; and
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_iv_noconst() is the same as EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv() but has a
different return type for the pointer.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_iv() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_iv_state() return 1 on success
and 0 on failure.

The functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_original_iv(), and
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv_noconst() return a pointer to an IV as an array of bytes on
success, and NULL on failure.

=head1 HISTORY

EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_iv() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_iv_state() were added in
OpenSSL 3.0.0.

EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_original_iv(), and
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv_noconst() were added in OpenSSL 1.1.0, and were deprecated
in OpenSSL 3.0.0.
