.SH NAME
ossl_store \- Store retrieval functions
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
#include <openssl/store.h>
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
.SS General
.IX Subsection "General"
A STORE is a layer of functionality to retrieve a number of supported
objects from a repository of any kind, addressable as a filename or
as a URI.
.PP
The functionality supports the pattern "open a channel to the
repository", "loop and retrieve one object at a time", and "finish up
by closing the channel".
.PP
The retrieved objects are returned as a wrapper type \fBOSSL_STORE_INFO\fR,
from which an OpenSSL type can be retrieved.
.SS "URI schemes and loaders"
.IX Subsection "URI schemes and loaders"
Support for a URI scheme is called a STORE "loader", and can be added
dynamically from the calling application or from a loadable engine.
.PP
Support for the 'file' scheme is built into \f(CW\*(C`libcrypto\*(C'\fR.
See \fBossl_store\-file\fR\|(7) for more information.
.SS "UI_METHOD and pass phrases"
.IX Subsection "UI_METHOD and pass phrases"
The \fBOSS_STORE\fR API does nothing to enforce any specific format or
encoding on the pass phrase that the \fBUI_METHOD\fR provides.  However,
the pass phrase is expected to be UTF\-8 encoded.  The result of any
other encoding is undefined.
