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