=head1 NAME
d2i_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECPKParameters, d2i_ECPKParameters_bio, i2d_ECPKParameters_bio, d2i_ECPKParameters_fp, i2d_ECPKParameters_fp(fp,x), ECPKParameters_print, ECPKParameters_print_fp - Functions for decoding and encoding ASN1 representations of elliptic curve entities
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/ec.h>
EC_GROUP *d2i_ECPKParameters(EC_GROUP **px, const unsigned char **in, long len);
int i2d_ECPKParameters(const EC_GROUP *x, unsigned char **out);
#define d2i_ECPKParameters_bio(bp,x) ASN1_d2i_bio_of(EC_GROUP,NULL,d2i_ECPKParameters,bp,x)
#define i2d_ECPKParameters_bio(bp,x) ASN1_i2d_bio_of_const(EC_GROUP,i2d_ECPKParameters,bp,x)
#define d2i_ECPKParameters_fp(fp,x) (EC_GROUP *)ASN1_d2i_fp(NULL, \
(char *(*)())d2i_ECPKParameters,(fp),(unsigned char **)(x))
#define i2d_ECPKParameters_fp(fp,x) ASN1_i2d_fp(i2d_ECPKParameters,(fp), \
(unsigned char *)(x))
int ECPKParameters_print(BIO *bp, const EC_GROUP *x, int off);
int ECPKParameters_print_fp(FILE *fp, const EC_GROUP *x, int off);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The ECPKParameters encode and decode routines encode and parse the public parameters for an
B<EC_GROUP> structure, which represents a curve.
d2i_ECPKParameters() attempts to decode B<len> bytes at B<*in>. If
successful a pointer to the B<EC_GROUP> structure is returned. If an error
occurred then B<NULL> is returned. If B<px> is not B<NULL> then the
returned structure is written to B<*px>. If B<*px> is not B<NULL>
then it is assumed that B<*px> contains a valid B<EC_GROUP>
structure and an attempt is made to reuse it. If the call is
successful B<*in> is incremented to the byte following the
parsed data.
i2d_ECPKParameters() encodes the structure pointed to by B<x> into DER format.
If B<out> is not B<NULL> is writes the DER encoded data to the buffer
at B<*out>, 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.
If B<*out> is B<NULL> memory will be allocated for a buffer and the encoded
data written to it. In this case B<*out> is not incremented and it points to
the start of the data just written.
d2i_ECPKParameters_bio() is similar to d2i_ECPKParameters() except it attempts
to parse data from BIO B<bp>.
d2i_ECPKParameters_fp() is similar to d2i_ECPKParameters() except it attempts
to parse data from FILE pointer B<fp>.
i2d_ECPKParameters_bio() is similar to i2d_ECPKParameters() except it writes
the encoding of the structure B<x> to BIO B<bp> and it
returns 1 for success and 0 for failure.
i2d_ECPKParameters_fp() is similar to i2d_ECPKParameters() except it writes
the encoding of the structure B<x> to BIO B<bp> and it
returns 1 for success and 0 for failure.
These functions are very similar to the X509 functions described in L<d2i_X509(3)|d2i_X509(3)>,
where further notes and examples are available.
The ECPKParameters_print and ECPKParameters_print_fp functions print a human-readable output
of the public parameters of the EC_GROUP to B<bp> or B<fp>. The output lines are indented by B<off> spaces.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
d2i_ECPKParameters(), d2i_ECPKParameters_bio() and d2i_ECPKParameters_fp() return a valid B<EC_GROUP> structure
or B<NULL> if an error occurs.
i2d_ECPKParameters() returns the number of bytes successfully encoded or a negative
value if an error occurs.
i2d_ECPKParameters_bio(), i2d_ECPKParameters_fp(), ECPKParameters_print and ECPKParameters_print_fp
return 1 for success and 0 if an error occurs.
