.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
See \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) for information about parameters.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_get_params()\fR retrieves parameters from the key \fIpkey\fR, according to
the contents of \fIparams\fR.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_gettable_params()\fR returns a constant list of \fIparams\fR indicating
the names and types of key parameters that can be retrieved.
.PP
An \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) of type \fBOSSL_PARAM_INTEGER\fR or
\&\fBOSSL_PARAM_UNSIGNED_INTEGER\fR is of arbitrary length. Such a parameter can be
obtained using any of the functions \fBEVP_PKEY_get_int_param()\fR,
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_get_size_t_param()\fR or \fBEVP_PKEY_get_bn_param()\fR. Attempting to
obtain an integer value that does not fit into a native C \fBint\fR type will cause
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_get_int_param()\fR to fail. Similarly attempting to obtain an integer
value that is negative or does not fit into a native C \fBsize_t\fR type using
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_get_size_t_param()\fR will also fail.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_get_int_param()\fR retrieves a key \fIpkey\fR integer value \fI*out\fR
associated with a name of \fIkey_name\fR if it fits into \f(CW\*(C`int\*(C'\fR type. For
parameters that do not fit into \f(CW\*(C`int\*(C'\fR use \fBEVP_PKEY_get_bn_param()\fR.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_get_size_t_param()\fR retrieves a key \fIpkey\fR size_t value \fI*out\fR
associated with a name of \fIkey_name\fR if it fits into \f(CW\*(C`size_t\*(C'\fR type. For
parameters that do not fit into \f(CW\*(C`size_t\*(C'\fR use \fBEVP_PKEY_get_bn_param()\fR.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_get_bn_param()\fR retrieves a key \fIpkey\fR BIGNUM value \fI**bn\fR
associated with a name of \fIkey_name\fR. If \fI*bn\fR is NULL then the BIGNUM
is allocated by the method.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_get_utf8_string_param()\fR get a key \fIpkey\fR UTF8 string value into a
buffer \fIstr\fR of maximum size \fImax_buf_sz\fR associated with a name of
\&\fIkey_name\fR.  The maximum size must be large enough to accommodate the string
value including a terminating NUL byte, or this function will fail.
If \fIout_len\fR is not NULL, \fI*out_len\fR is set to the length of the string
not including the terminating NUL byte. The required buffer size not including
the terminating NUL byte can be obtained from \fI*out_len\fR by calling the
function with \fIstr\fR set to NULL.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_get_octet_string_param()\fR get a key \fIpkey\fR's octet string value into a
buffer \fIbuf\fR of maximum size \fImax_buf_sz\fR associated with a name of \fIkey_name\fR.
If \fIout_len\fR is not NULL, \fI*out_len\fR is set to the length of the contents.
The required buffer size can be obtained from \fI*out_len\fR by calling the
function with \fIbuf\fR set to NULL.
.SH NOTES
.IX Header "NOTES"
These functions only work for \fBEVP_PKEY\fRs that contain a provider side key.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_gettable_params()\fR returns NULL on error or if it is not supported.
.PP
All other methods return 1 if a value associated with the key's \fIkey_name\fR was
successfully returned, or 0 if there was an error.
An error may be returned by methods \fBEVP_PKEY_get_utf8_string_param()\fR and
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_get_octet_string_param()\fR if \fImax_buf_sz\fR is not big enough to hold the
value.  If \fIout_len\fR is not NULL, \fI*out_len\fR will be assigned the required
buffer size to hold the value.
