If B<key> is not B<NULL> then before the call the +B<keylen> parameter should contain the length of the B<key> buffer, if the call +is successful the shared secret is written to B<key> and the amount of data +written to B<keylen>. + +=head1 NOTES + +After the call to EVP_PKEY_derive_init() algorithm specific control +operations can be performed to set any appropriate parameters for the +operation. + +The function EVP_PKEY_derive() can be called more than once on the same +context if several operations are performed using the same parameters. + +=head1 RETURN VALUES + +EVP_PKEY_derive_init() and EVP_PKEY_derive() return 1 for success and 0 +or a negative value for failure.
