The EVP signature routines are a high level interface to digital signatures.
Input data is digested first before the signing takes place.
-EVP_DigestSignInit_ex() sets up signing context B<ctx> to use a digest with the
-name B<mdname> and private key B<pkey>. The signature algorithm B<signature>
-will be used for the actual signing which must be compatible with the private
-key. The name of the digest to be used is passed to the provider of the
-signature algorithm in use. How that provider interprets the digest name is
-provider specific. The provider may implement that digest directly itself or it
-may (optionally) choose to fetch it (which could result in a digest from a
-different provider being selected). If the provider supports fetching the digest
-then it may use the B<props> argument for the properties to be used during the
-fetch.
-
-The B<signature> parameter may be NULL in which case a suitable signature
-algorithm implementation will be implicitly fetched based on the type of key in
-use. See L<provider(7)> for further information about providers and fetching
-algorithms.

The OpenSSL default and legacy providers support fetching digests and can fetch
those digests from any available provider. The OpenSSL fips provider also
supports fetching digests but will only fetch digests that are themselves
implemented inside the fips provider.

EVP_DigestSignInit() works in the same way as EVP_DigestSignInit_ex() except
-that the B<mdname> parameter will be inferred from the supplied digest B<type>,
-and B<props> will be NULL. Where supplied the ENGINE B<e> will be used for the
-signing and digest algorithm implementations. B<e> may be NULL.
-
-EVP_DigestSignUpdate() hashes B<cnt> bytes of data at B<d> into the
-signature context B<ctx>. This function can be called several times on the
-same B<ctx> to include additional data.
-
-EVP_DigestSignFinal() signs the data in B<ctx> and places the signature in B<sig>.
-If B<sig> is B<NULL> then the maximum size of the output buffer is written to
-the B<siglen> parameter. If B<sig> is not B<NULL> then before the call the
-B<siglen> parameter should contain the length of the B<sig> buffer. If the
-call is successful the signature is written to B<sig> and the amount of data
-written to B<siglen>.

-EVP_DigestSign() signs B<tbslen> bytes of data at B<tbs> and places the
-signature in B<sig> and its length in B<siglen> in a similar way to

+and I<props> will be NULL. Where supplied the ENGINE I<e> will be used for the

-EVP_DigestSignInit(), EVP_DigestSignUpdate(), EVP_DigestSignaFinal() and

-particular, a return value of -2 indicates the operation is not supported by the
