NAME

       b2i_PVK_bio, b2i_PVK_bio_ex, i2b_PVK_bio, i2b_PVK_bio_ex - Decode and
       encode functions for reading and writing MSBLOB format private keys


SYNOPSIS

        #include <openssl/pem.h>

        EVP_PKEY *b2i_PVK_bio(BIO *in, pem_password_cb *cb, void *u);
        EVP_PKEY *b2i_PVK_bio_ex(BIO *in, pem_password_cb *cb, void *u,
                                 OSSL_LIB_CTX *libctx, const char *propq);
        int i2b_PVK_bio(BIO *out, const EVP_PKEY *pk, int enclevel,
                        pem_password_cb *cb, void *u);
        int i2b_PVK_bio_ex(BIO *out, const EVP_PKEY *pk, int enclevel,
                           pem_password_cb *cb, void *u,
                           OSSL_LIB_CTX *libctx, const char *propq);


DESCRIPTION

       b2i_PVK_bio_ex() decodes a private key of MSBLOB format read from a
       BIO. It attempts to automatically determine the key type. If the key is
       encrypted then cb is called with the user data u in order to obtain a
       password to decrypt the key. The supplied library context libctx and
       property query string propq are used in any decrypt operation.

       b2i_PVK_bio() does the same as b2i_PVK_bio_ex() except that the default
       library context and property query string are used.

       i2b_PVK_bio_ex() encodes pk using MSBLOB format. If enclevel is 1 then
       a password obtained via pem_password_cb is used to encrypt the private
       key.  If enclevel is 0 then no encryption is applied. The user data in
       u is passed to the password callback. The supplied library context
       libctx and property query string propq are used in any decrypt
       operation.

       i2b_PVK_bio() does the same as i2b_PVK_bio_ex() except that the default
       library context and property query string are used.


RETURN VALUES

       The b2i_PVK_bio() and b2i_PVK_bio_ex() functions return a valid EVP_KEY
       structure or NULL if an error occurs. The error code can be obtained by
       calling ERR_get_error(3).

       i2b_PVK_bio() and i2b_PVK_bio_ex() return the number of bytes
       successfully encoded or a negative value if an error occurs. The error
       code can be obtained by calling ERR_get_error(3).
