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