.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The ECPKParameters encode and decode routines encode and parse the public parameters for an
\&\fB\s-1EC_GROUP\s0\fR structure, which represents a curve.
.PP
\&\fBd2i_ECPKParameters()\fR attempts to decode \fBlen\fR bytes at \fB*in\fR. If 
successful a pointer to the \fB\s-1EC_GROUP\s0\fR structure is returned. If an error
occurred then \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR is returned. If \fBpx\fR is not \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR then the
returned structure is written to \fB*px\fR. If \fB*px\fR is not \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR
then it is assumed that \fB*px\fR contains a valid \fB\s-1EC_GROUP\s0\fR
structure and an attempt is made to reuse it. If the call is
successful \fB*in\fR is incremented to the byte following the
parsed data.
.PP
\&\fBi2d_ECPKParameters()\fR encodes the structure pointed to by \fBx\fR into \s-1DER\s0 format.
If \fBout\fR is not \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR is writes the \s-1DER\s0 encoded data to the buffer
at \fB*out\fR, and increments it to point after the data just written.
If the return value is negative an error occurred, otherwise it
returns the length of the encoded data.
.PP
If \fB*out\fR is \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR memory will be allocated for a buffer and the encoded
data written to it. In this case \fB*out\fR is not incremented and it points to
the start of the data just written.
.PP
\&\fBd2i_ECPKParameters_bio()\fR is similar to \fBd2i_ECPKParameters()\fR except it attempts
to parse data from \s-1BIO\s0 \fBbp\fR.
.PP
\&\fBd2i_ECPKParameters_fp()\fR is similar to \fBd2i_ECPKParameters()\fR except it attempts
to parse data from \s-1FILE\s0 pointer \fBfp\fR.
.PP
\&\fBi2d_ECPKParameters_bio()\fR is similar to \fBi2d_ECPKParameters()\fR except it writes
the encoding of the structure \fBx\fR to \s-1BIO\s0 \fBbp\fR and it
returns 1 for success and 0 for failure.
.PP
\&\fBi2d_ECPKParameters_fp()\fR is similar to \fBi2d_ECPKParameters()\fR except it writes
the encoding of the structure \fBx\fR to \s-1BIO\s0 \fBbp\fR and it
returns 1 for success and 0 for failure.
.PP
These functions are very similar to the X509 functions described in \fBd2i_X509\fR\|(3),
where further notes and examples are available.
.PP
The ECPKParameters_print and ECPKParameters_print_fp functions print a human-readable output
of the public parameters of the \s-1EC_GROUP\s0 to \fBbp\fR or \fBfp\fR. The output lines are indented by \fBoff\fR spaces.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBd2i_ECPKParameters()\fR, \fBd2i_ECPKParameters_bio()\fR and \fBd2i_ECPKParameters_fp()\fR return a valid \fB\s-1EC_GROUP\s0\fR structure
or \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR if an error occurs.
.PP
\&\fBi2d_ECPKParameters()\fR returns the number of bytes successfully encoded or a negative
value if an error occurs.
.PP
\&\fBi2d_ECPKParameters_bio()\fR, \fBi2d_ECPKParameters_fp()\fR, ECPKParameters_print and ECPKParameters_print_fp
return 1 for success and 0 if an error occurs.
