NAME
       EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params, EVP_PKEY_CTX_settable_params, EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_params,
       EVP_PKEY_CTX_gettable_params - provider parameter passing operations


SYNOPSIS
        #include <openssl/evp.h>

        int EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, const OSSL_PARAM *params);
        const OSSL_PARAM *EVP_PKEY_CTX_settable_params(const EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
        int EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_params(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, OSSL_PARAM *params);
        const OSSL_PARAM *EVP_PKEY_CTX_gettable_params(const EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);


DESCRIPTION
       The EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_params() and EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params() functions allow transfer of arbitrary key
       parameters to and from providers.  Not all parameters may be supported by all providers.  See
       OSSL_PROVIDER(3) for more information on providers.  See OSSL_PARAM(3) for more information on
       parameters.  These functions must only be called after the EVP_PKEY_CTX has been initialised for use in
       an operation.  These methods replace the EVP_PKEY_CTX_ctrl() mechanism. (EVP_PKEY_CTX_ctrl now calls
       these methods internally to interact with providers).

       EVP_PKEY_CTX_gettable_params() and EVP_PKEY_CTX_settable_params() get a constant OSSL_PARAM(3) array that
       describes the gettable and settable parameters for the current algorithm implementation, i.e. parameters
       that can be used with EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_params() and EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params() respectively.  These
       functions must only be called after the EVP_PKEY_CTX has been initialised for use in an operation.

   Parameters
       Examples of EVP_PKEY parameters include the following:

       "Common parameters" in provider-keymgmt(7) "Key Exchange parameters" in provider-keyexch(7) "Signature
       parameters" in provider-signature(7)

       "Common RSA parameters" in EVP_PKEY-RSA(7) "RSA key generation parameters" in EVP_PKEY-RSA(7) "FFC
       parameters" in EVP_PKEY-FFC(7) "FFC key generation parameters" in EVP_PKEY-FFC(7) "DSA parameters" in
       EVP_PKEY-DSA(7) "DSA key generation parameters" in EVP_PKEY-DSA(7) "DH parameters" in EVP_PKEY-DH(7) "DH
       key generation parameters" in EVP_PKEY-DH(7) "Common EC parameters" in EVP_PKEY-EC(7) "Common X25519,
       X448, ED25519 and ED448 parameters" in EVP_PKEY-X25519(7)


RETURN VALUES
       EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params() returns 1 for success or 0 otherwise.  EVP_PKEY_CTX_settable_params() returns
       an OSSL_PARAM array on success or NULL on error.  It may also return NULL if there are no settable
       parameters available.

       All other functions and macros described on this page return a positive value for success and 0 or a
       negative value for failure. In particular a return value of -2 indicates the operation is not supported
       by the public key algorithm.
