DESCRIPTION

       A collection of utility functions that simplify and add type safety to the OSSL_PARAM(3) arrays.  The
       following TYPE names are supported:

       • double

       • int

       • int32 (int32_t)

       • int64 (int64_t)

       • long int (long)

       • time_t

       • size_t

       • uint32 (uint32_t)

       • uint64 (uint64_t)

       • unsigned int (uint)

       • unsigned long int (ulong)

       OSSL_PARAM_TYPE()  are  a  series  of  macros  designed  to assist initialising an array of OSSL_PARAM(3)
       structures.  Each of these macros defines a parameter of the specified TYPE with  the  provided  key  and
       parameter variable address.

       OSSL_PARAM_utf8_string(),   OSSL_PARAM_octet_string(),   OSSL_PARAM_utf8_ptr(),   OSSL_PARAM_octet_ptr(),
       OSSL_PARAM_BN() are macros that provide support for defining UTF8 strings, OCTET strings and big numbers.
       A parameter with name key is defined.  The storage for this parameter is at address and is of size bytes.

       OSSL_PARAM_END provides an end of parameter list marker.  This should terminate all OSSL_PARAM(3) arrays.

       The OSSL_PARAM_DEFN() macro provides the ability to construct a single OSSL_PARAM(3) (typically  used  in
       the  construction  of  OSSL_PARAM  arrays).  The  key, type, addr and sz arguments correspond to the key,
       data_type, data and data_size fields of the OSSL_PARAM(3) structure as  described  on  the  OSSL_PARAM(3)
       page.

       OSSL_PARAM_construct_TYPE()  are  a series of functions that create OSSL_PARAM(3) records dynamically.  A
       parameter with name key is created.  The parameter will use storage pointed to by buf and return size  of
       ret.

       OSSL_PARAM_construct_BN()  is  a  function  that  constructs  a large integer OSSL_PARAM(3) structure.  A
       parameter with name key, storage buf, size bsize and return size rsize is created.

       OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string() is a function that constructs a UTF8 string  OSSL_PARAM(3)  structure.
       A parameter with name key, storage buf and size bsize is created.  If bsize is zero, the string length is
       determined using strlen(3).  Generally pass zero for bsize instead of calling strlen(3) yourself.

       OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_string()   is  a  function  that  constructs  an  OCTET  string  OSSL_PARAM(3)
       structure.  A parameter with name key, storage buf and size bsize is created.

       OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_ptr() is a  function  that  constructs  a  UTF8  string  pointer  OSSL_PARAM(3)
       structure.  A parameter with name key, storage pointer *buf and size bsize is created.

       OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_ptr()  is  a  function  that  constructs an OCTET string pointer OSSL_PARAM(3)
       structure.  A parameter with name key, storage pointer *buf and size bsize is created.

       OSSL_PARAM_construct_end() is a function that constructs the terminating OSSL_PARAM(3) structure.

       OSSL_PARAM_locate() is a function that searches an array of parameters for the one matching the key name.

       OSSL_PARAM_locate_const() behaves exactly like OSSL_PARAM_locate() except for the presence of  const  for
       the array argument and its return value.

       OSSL_PARAM_get_TYPE()  retrieves  a  value of type TYPE from the parameter p.  The value is copied to the
       address val.  Type coercion takes place as discussed in the NOTES section.

       OSSL_PARAM_set_TYPE() stores a value val of type TYPE into the parameter  p.   If  the  parameter's  data
       field  is  NULL,  then  only  its return_size field will be assigned the size the parameter's data buffer
       should have.  Type coercion takes place as discussed in the NOTES section.

       OSSL_PARAM_get_BN() retrieves a BIGNUM from the parameter pointed to by p.  The BIGNUM referenced by  val
       is updated and is allocated if *val is NULL.

       OSSL_PARAM_set_BN()  stores  the BIGNUM val into the parameter p.  If the parameter's data field is NULL,
       then only its return_size field will be assigned the size the parameter's data buffer should have.

       OSSL_PARAM_get_utf8_string() retrieves a UTF8 string from the parameter pointed to by p.  The  string  is
       stored  into  *val  with a size limit of max_len, which must be large enough to accommodate a terminating
       NUL byte, otherwise this function will fail.  If *val  is  NULL,  memory  is  allocated  for  the  string
       (including  the  terminating  NUL byte) and max_len is ignored.  If memory is allocated by this function,
       it must be freed by the caller.

       OSSL_PARAM_set_utf8_string() sets a UTF8 string  from  the  parameter  pointed  to  by  p  to  the  value
       referenced by val.  If the parameter's data field isn't NULL, its data_size must indicate that the buffer
       is  large enough to accommodate the string that val points at, not including the terminating NUL byte, or
       this function will fail.  A terminating NUL byte is added only if the parameter's data_size indicates the
       buffer is longer than the string length, otherwise the  string  will  not  be  NUL  terminated.   If  the
       parameter's  data  field  is  NULL, then only its return_size field will be assigned the minimum size the
       parameter's data buffer should have to accommodate the string, not including a terminating NUL byte.

       OSSL_PARAM_get_octet_string() retrieves an OCTET string from the parameter pointed to by p.   The  OCTETs
       are  either  stored into *val with a length limit of max_len or, in the case when *val is NULL, memory is
       allocated and max_len is ignored. *used_len is populated with the number of OCTETs stored. If val is NULL
       then the OCTETS are not stored, but *used_len is  still  populated.   If  memory  is  allocated  by  this
       function, it must be freed by the caller.

       OSSL_PARAM_set_octet_string()  sets  an  OCTET  string  from  the  parameter pointed to by p to the value
       referenced by val.  If the parameter's data field is NULL,  then  only  its  return_size  field  will  be
       assigned the size the parameter's data buffer should have.

       OSSL_PARAM_get_utf8_ptr() retrieves the UTF8 string pointer from the parameter referenced by p and stores
       it in *val.

       OSSL_PARAM_set_utf8_ptr()  sets  the  UTF8  string pointer in the parameter referenced by p to the values
       val.

       OSSL_PARAM_get_octet_ptr() retrieves the OCTET string pointer from the  parameter  referenced  by  p  and
       stores it in *val.  The length of the OCTET string is stored in *used_len.

       OSSL_PARAM_set_octet_ptr()  sets  the OCTET string pointer in the parameter referenced by p to the values
       val.  The length of the OCTET string is provided by used_len.

       OSSL_PARAM_get_utf8_string_ptr() retrieves the pointer to a UTF8 string from the parameter pointed to  by
       p,  and  stores  that pointer in *val.  This is different from OSSL_PARAM_get_utf8_string(), which copies
       the string.

       OSSL_PARAM_get_octet_string_ptr() retrieves the pointer to a octet string from the parameter  pointed  to
       by  p,  and  stores that pointer in *val, along with the string's length in *used_len.  This is different
       from OSSL_PARAM_get_octet_string(), which copies the string.

       The OSSL_PARAM_UNMODIFIED macro is used to detect if a parameter was set.  On creation,  via  either  the
       macros or construct calls, the return_size field is set to this.  If the parameter is set using the calls
       defined herein, the return_size field is changed.

       OSSL_PARAM_modified() queries if the parameter param has been set or not using the calls defined herein.

       OSSL_PARAM_set_all_unmodified() resets the unused indicator for all parameters in the array params.

RETURN VALUES

       OSSL_PARAM_construct_TYPE(),        OSSL_PARAM_construct_BN(),        OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string(),
       OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_string(), OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_ptr() and OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_ptr()
       return a populated OSSL_PARAM(3) structure.

       OSSL_PARAM_locate() and OSSL_PARAM_locate_const() return a pointer to the matching OSSL_PARAM(3)  object.
       They return NULL on error or when no object matching key exists in the array.

       OSSL_PARAM_modified() returns 1 if the parameter was set and 0 otherwise.

       All other functions return 1 on success and 0 on failure.

NOTES

       Native  types will be converted as required only if the value is exactly representable by the target type
       or parameter.  Apart from that, the functions must be used appropriately for the  expected  type  of  the
       parameter.

       OSSL_PARAM_get_BN()   and   OSSL_PARAM_set_BN()  currently  only  support  nonnegative  BIGNUMs,  and  by
       consequence,  only  OSSL_PARAM_UNSIGNED_INTEGER.   OSSL_PARAM_construct_BN()  currently   constructs   an
       OSSL_PARAM(3) structure with the data type OSSL_PARAM_UNSIGNED_INTEGER.

       For  OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_ptr()  and OSSL_PARAM_consstruct_octet_ptr(), bsize is not relevant if the
       purpose is to send the OSSL_PARAM(3) array to a responder, i.e. to get  parameter  data  back.   In  that
       case,  bsize can safely be given zero.  See "DESCRIPTION" in OSSL_PARAM(3) for further information on the
       possible purposes.

EXAMPLES

       Reusing the examples from OSSL_PARAM(3) to just show how OSSL_PARAM(3) arrays can be  handled  using  the
       macros and functions defined herein.

   Example 1
       This example is for setting parameters on some object:

           #include <openssl/core.h>

           const char *foo = "some string";
           size_t foo_l = strlen(foo);
           const char bar[] = "some other string";
           const OSSL_PARAM set[] = {
               OSSL_PARAM_utf8_ptr("foo", &foo, foo_l),
               OSSL_PARAM_utf8_string("bar", bar, sizeof(bar) - 1),
               OSSL_PARAM_END
           };

   Example 2
       This  example is for requesting parameters on some object, and also demonstrates that the requester isn't
       obligated to request all available parameters:

           const char *foo = NULL;
           char bar[1024];
           OSSL_PARAM request[] = {
               OSSL_PARAM_utf8_ptr("foo", &foo, 0),
               OSSL_PARAM_utf8_string("bar", bar, sizeof(bar)),
               OSSL_PARAM_END
           };

       A responder that receives this array (as "params" in this example) could  fill  in  the  parameters  like
       this:

           /* OSSL_PARAM *params */

           OSSL_PARAM *p;

           if ((p = OSSL_PARAM_locate(params, "foo")) != NULL)
               OSSL_PARAM_set_utf8_ptr(p, "foo value");
           if ((p = OSSL_PARAM_locate(params, "bar")) != NULL)
               OSSL_PARAM_set_utf8_string(p, "bar value");
           if ((p = OSSL_PARAM_locate(params, "cookie")) != NULL)
               OSSL_PARAM_set_utf8_ptr(p, "cookie value");
