The final output type must be given, and a chain of encoders must end with an implementation that produces that output type. At the beginning of the encoding process, a constructor provided by the caller is called to ensure that there is an appropriate provider-side object to start with. The constructor is set with OSSL_ENCODER_CTX_set_construct(). OSSL_ENCODER_INSTANCE is an opaque structure that contains data about the encoder that is going to be used, and that may be useful for the constructor. There are some functions to extract data from this type, described in "Constructor" below. Functions OSSL_ENCODER_CTX_new() creates a OSSL_ENCODER_CTX. OSSL_ENCODER_settable_ctx_params() returns an OSSL_PARAM(3) array of parameter descriptors. OSSL_ENCODER_CTX_set_params() attempts to set parameters specified with an OSSL_PARAM(3) array params. Parameters that the implementation doesn't recognise should be ignored. OSSL_ENCODER_CTX_free() frees the given context ctx. OSSL_ENCODER_CTX_add_encoder() populates the OSSL_ENCODER_CTX ctx with a encoder, to be used to encode an input object. OSSL_ENCODER_CTX_add_extra() finds encoders that further encodes output from already added encoders, and adds them as well. This is used to build encoder chains. OSSL_ENCODER_CTX_set_output_type() sets the ending output type. This must be specified, and determines if a complete encoder chain is available. OSSL_ENCODER_CTX_set_output_structure() sets the desired output structure. This may be used to determines what encoder implementations may be used. Depending on the type of object being encoded, the output structure may not be relevant. OSSL_ENCODER_CTX_get_num_encoders() gets the number of encoders currently added to the context ctx. OSSL_ENCODER_CTX_set_construct() sets the constructor construct. OSSL_ENCODER_CTX_set_construct_data() sets the constructor data that is passed to the constructor every time it's called. OSSL_ENCODER_CTX_set_cleanup() sets the constructor data cleanup function. This is called by OSSL_ENCODER_CTX_free(3). Constructor A OSSL_ENCODER_CONSTRUCT gets the following arguments: encoder_inst provider-native object that can be used as first input of an encoding chain, or NULL to indicate that an error has occurred. These utility functions may be used by a constructor: OSSL_ENCODER_INSTANCE_get_encoder() can be used to get the encoder implementation of the encoder instance encoder_inst. OSSL_ENCODER_INSTANCE_get_encoder_ctx() can be used to get the encoder implementation's provider context of the encoder instance encoder_inst. OSSL_ENCODER_INSTANCE_get_output_type() can be used to get the output type for the encoder implementation of the encoder instance encoder_inst. This will never be NULL. OSSL_ENCODER_INSTANCE_get_output_structure() can be used to get the output structure for the encoder implementation of the encoder instance encoder_inst. This may be NULL. RETURN VALUES OSSL_ENCODER_CTX_new() returns a pointer to a OSSL_ENCODER_CTX, or NULL if the context structure couldn't be allocated. OSSL_ENCODER_settable_ctx_params() returns an OSSL_PARAM(3) array, or NULL if none is available. OSSL_ENCODER_CTX_set_params() returns 1 if all recognised parameters were valid, or 0 if one of them was invalid or caused some other failure in the implementation. OSSL_ENCODER_CTX_add_encoder(), OSSL_ENCODER_CTX_add_extra(), OSSL_ENCODER_CTX_set_construct(), OSSL_ENCODER_CTX_set_construct_data() and OSSL_ENCODER_CTX_set_cleanup() return 1 on success, or 0 on failure. OSSL_ENCODER_CTX_get_num_encoders() returns the current number of encoders. It returns 0 if ctx is NULL. OSSL_ENCODER_INSTANCE_get_encoder() returns an OSSL_ENCODER pointer on success, or NULL on failure. OSSL_ENCODER_INSTANCE_get_encoder_ctx() returns a provider context pointer on success, or NULL on failure. OSSL_ENCODER_INSTANCE_get_output_type() returns a string with the name of the input type, if relevant. NULL is a valid returned value. OSSL_ENCODER_INSTANCE_get_output_type() returns a string with the name of the output type. OSSL_ENCODER_INSTANCE_get_output_structure() returns a string with the name of the output structure.
