.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBb2i_PVK_bio_ex()\fR decodes a private key of MSBLOB format read from a \fBBIO\fR. It
attempts to automatically determine the key type. If the key is encrypted then
\&\fIcb\fR is called with the user data \fIu\fR in order to obtain a password to decrypt
the key. The supplied library context \fIlibctx\fR and property query
string \fIpropq\fR are used in any decrypt operation.
.PP
\&\fBb2i_PVK_bio()\fR does the same as \fBb2i_PVK_bio_ex()\fR except that the default
library context and property query string are used.
.PP
\&\fBi2b_PVK_bio_ex()\fR encodes \fIpk\fR using MSBLOB format. If \fIenclevel\fR is 1 then
a password obtained via \fIpem_password_cb\fR is used to encrypt the private key.
If \fIenclevel\fR is 0 then no encryption is applied. The user data in \fIu\fR is
passed to the password callback. The supplied library context \fIlibctx\fR and
property query string \fIpropq\fR are used in any decrypt operation.
.PP
\&\fBi2b_PVK_bio()\fR does the same as \fBi2b_PVK_bio_ex()\fR except that the default
library context and property query string are used.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
The \fBb2i_PVK_bio()\fR and \fBb2i_PVK_bio_ex()\fR functions return a valid \fBEVP_KEY\fR
structure or \fBNULL\fR if an error occurs. The error code can be obtained by calling
\&\fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3).
.PP
\&\fBi2b_PVK_bio()\fR and \fBi2b_PVK_bio_ex()\fR return the number of bytes successfully
encoded or a negative value if an error occurs. The error code can be obtained
by calling \fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3).
