=head1 SYNOPSIS

=for openssl generic

 #include <openssl/pem.h>

 DECLARE_PEM_rw(name, TYPE)

 TYPE *PEM_read_TYPE(FILE *fp, TYPE **a, pem_password_cb *cb, void *u);
 TYPE *PEM_read_bio_TYPE(BIO *bp, TYPE **a, pem_password_cb *cb, void *u);
 int PEM_write_TYPE(FILE *fp, const TYPE *a);
 int PEM_write_bio_TYPE(BIO *bp, const TYPE *a);

The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be
hidden entirely by defining B<OPENSSL_API_COMPAT> with a suitable version value,
see L<openssl_user_macros(7)>:

 #include <openssl/pem.h>

 EC_GROUP *PEM_read_bio_ECPKParameters(BIO *bp, EC_GROUP **x, pem_password_cb *cb, void *u);
 int PEM_write_ECPKParameters(FILE *out, const EC_GROUP *x);

                            const unsigned char *kstr, int klen,
                            pem_password_cb *cb, void *u);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

All of the functions described on this page are deprecated.
Applications should use OSSL_ENCODER_to_bio() and OSSL_DECODER_from_bio()
instead.

In the description below, B<I<TYPE>> is used
as a placeholder for any of the OpenSSL datatypes, such as B<X509>.
The macro B<DECLARE_PEM_rw> expands to the set of declarations shown in
the next four lines of the synopsis.

These routines convert between local instances of ASN1 datatypes and
the PEM encoding.  For more information on the templates, see
L<ASN1_ITEM(3)>.  For more information on the lower-level routines used
by the functions here, see L<PEM_read(3)>.

B<PEM_read_I<TYPE>>() reads a PEM-encoded object of B<I<TYPE>> from the file
I<fp> and returns it.  The I<cb> and I<u> parameters are as described in
L<pem_password_cb(3)>.

B<PEM_read_bio_I<TYPE>>() is similar to B<PEM_read_I<TYPE>>() but reads from
the BIO I<bp>.

B<PEM_write_I<TYPE>>() writes the PEM encoding of the object I<a> to the file
I<fp>.

B<PEM_write_bio_I<TYPE>>() similarly writes to the BIO I<bp>.

=head1 NOTES

These functions make no assumption regarding the pass phrase received from the
password callback.
It will simply be treated as a byte sequence.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

B<PEM_read_I<TYPE>>() and B<PEM_read_bio_I<TYPE>>() return a pointer to an
allocated object, which should be released by calling B<I<TYPE>_free>(), or
NULL on error.

B<PEM_write_I<TYPE>>() and B<PEM_write_bio_I<TYPE>>() return 1 for success or 0 for failure.
