.. Set up some character translations and predefined strings. \*(-- will
give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. \*(C+ will
give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used to do unbreakable dashes and
therefore won't be available. \*(C` and \*(C' expand to `' in nroff,
nothing in troff, for use with C<>.

Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

Title "EVP_PKEY_cmp 3" For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
EVP_PKEY_copy_parameters, EVP_PKEY_missing_parameters, EVP_PKEY_cmp_parameters, EVP_PKEY_cmp - public key parameter and comparison functions Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/evp.h> \& int EVP_PKEY_missing_parameters(const EVP_PKEY *pkey); int EVP_PKEY_copy_parameters(EVP_PKEY *to, const EVP_PKEY *from); \& int EVP_PKEY_cmp_parameters(const EVP_PKEY *a, const EVP_PKEY *b); int EVP_PKEY_cmp(const EVP_PKEY *a, const EVP_PKEY *b); .Ve Header "DESCRIPTION" The function EVP_PKEY_missing_parameters() returns 1 if the public key parameters of pkey are missing and 0 if they are present or the algorithm doesn't use parameters.

The function EVP_PKEY_copy_parameters() copies the parameters from key \fBfrom to key to. An error is returned if the parameters are missing in \fBfrom or present in both from and to and mismatch. If the parameters in from and to are both present and match this function has no effect.

The function EVP_PKEY_cmp_parameters() compares the parameters of keys \fBa and b.

The function EVP_PKEY_cmp() compares the public key components and paramters (if present) of keys a and b.

Header "NOTES" The main purpose of the functions EVP_PKEY_missing_parameters() and \fBEVP_PKEY_copy_parameters() is to handle public keys in certificates where the parameters are sometimes omitted from a public key if they are inherited from the \s-1CA\s0 that signed it.

Since OpenSSL private keys contain public key components too the function \fBEVP_PKEY_cmp() can also be used to determine if a private key matches a public key.

Header "RETURN VALUES" The function EVP_PKEY_missing_parameters() returns 1 if the public key parameters of pkey are missing and 0 if they are present or the algorithm doesn't use parameters.

These functions EVP_PKEY_copy_parameters() returns 1 for success and 0 for failure.

The function EVP_PKEY_cmp_parameters() and EVP_PKEY_cmp() return 1 if the keys match, 0 if they don't match, -1 if the key types are different and \-2 if the operation is not supported.
