B2I_PVK_BIO_EX(3ossl) OpenSSL B2I_PVK_BIO_EX(3ossl)
NAME
b2i_PVK_bio, b2i_PVK_bio_ex, i2b_PVK_bio, i2b_PVK_bio_ex - Decode and
encode functions for reading and writing MSBLOB format private keys
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/pem.h>
EVP_PKEY *b2i_PVK_bio(BIO *in, pem_password_cb *cb, void *u);
EVP_PKEY *b2i_PVK_bio_ex(BIO *in, pem_password_cb *cb, void *u,
OSSL_LIB_CTX *libctx, const char *propq);
int i2b_PVK_bio(BIO *out, const EVP_PKEY *pk, int enclevel,
pem_password_cb *cb, void *u);
int i2b_PVK_bio_ex(BIO *out, const EVP_PKEY *pk, int enclevel,
pem_password_cb *cb, void *u,
OSSL_LIB_CTX *libctx, const char *propq);
DESCRIPTION
b2i_PVK_bio_ex() decodes a private key of MSBLOB format read from a
BIO. It attempts to automatically determine the key type. If the key is
encrypted then cb is called with the user data u in order to obtain a
password to decrypt the key. The supplied library context libctx and
property query string propq are used in any decrypt operation.
b2i_PVK_bio() does the same as b2i_PVK_bio_ex() except that the default
library context and property query string are used.
i2b_PVK_bio_ex() encodes pk using MSBLOB format. If enclevel is 1 then
a password obtained via pem_password_cb is used to encrypt the private
key. If enclevel is 0 then no encryption is applied. The user data in
u is passed to the password callback. The supplied library context
libctx and property query string propq are used in any decrypt
operation.
i2b_PVK_bio() does the same as i2b_PVK_bio_ex() except that the default
library context and property query string are used.
RETURN VALUES
The b2i_PVK_bio() and b2i_PVK_bio_ex() functions return a valid EVP_KEY
structure or NULL if an error occurs. The error code can be obtained by
calling ERR_get_error(3).
i2b_PVK_bio() and i2b_PVK_bio_ex() return the number of bytes
successfully encoded or a negative value if an error occurs. The error
code can be obtained by calling ERR_get_error(3).
