NAME

       OSSL_DECODER_from_data, OSSL_DECODER_from_bio, OSSL_DECODER_from_fp -
       Routines to perform a decoding


SYNOPSIS

        #include <openssl/decoder.h>

        int OSSL_DECODER_from_bio(OSSL_DECODER_CTX *ctx, BIO *in);
        int OSSL_DECODER_from_fp(OSSL_DECODER_CTX *ctx, FILE *fp);
        int OSSL_DECODER_from_data(OSSL_DECODER_CTX *ctx, const unsigned char **pdata,
                                   size_t *pdata_len);

       Feature availability macros:

       OSSL_DECODER_from_fp() is only available when OPENSSL_NO_STDIO is
       undefined.


DESCRIPTION

       OSSL_DECODER_from_data() runs the decoding process for the context ctx,
       with input coming from *pdata, *pdata_len bytes long.  Both *pdata and
       *pdata_len must be non-NULL.  When OSSL_DECODER_from_data() returns,
       *pdata is updated to point at the location after what has been decoded,
       and *pdata_len to have the number of remaining bytes.

       OSSL_DECODER_from_bio() runs the decoding process for the context ctx,
       with the input coming from the BIO in.  Should it make a difference,
       it's recommended to have the BIO set in binary mode rather than text
       mode.

       OSSL_DECODER_from_fp() does the same thing as OSSL_DECODER_from_bio(),
       except that the input is coming from the FILE fp.


RETURN VALUES

       OSSL_DECODER_from_bio(), OSSL_DECODER_from_data() and
       OSSL_DECODER_from_fp() return 1 on success, or 0 on failure.


EXAMPLES

       To decode an RSA key encoded with PEM from a bio:

        OSSL_DECODER_CTX *dctx;
        EVP_PKEY *pkey = NULL;
        const char *format = "PEM";   /* NULL for any format */
        const char *structure = NULL; /* any structure */
        const char *keytype = "RSA";  /* NULL for any key */
        const unsigned char *pass = "my password";

        dctx = OSSL_DECODER_CTX_new_for_pkey(&pkey, format, structure,
                                             keytype,
                                             OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_KEYPAIR,
                                             NULL, NULL);
        if (dctx == NULL) {
            /* error: no suitable potential decoders found */
        }
        if (pass != NULL)
            OSSL_DECODER_CTX_set_passphrase(dctx, pass, strlen(pass));
        if (OSSL_DECODER_from_bio(dctx, bio)) {
            /* pkey is created with the decoded data from the bio */
        } else {
            /* decoding failure */
        }
        OSSL_DECODER_CTX_free(dctx);

       To decode an EC key encoded with DER from a buffer:

        OSSL_DECODER_CTX *dctx;
        EVP_PKEY *pkey = NULL;
        const char *format = "DER";   /* NULL for any format */
        const char *structure = NULL; /* any structure */
        const char *keytype = "EC";   /* NULL for any key */
        const unsigned char *pass = NULL
        const unsigned char *data = buffer;
        size_t datalen = sizeof(buffer);

        dctx = OSSL_DECODER_CTX_new_for_pkey(&pkey, format, structure,
                                             keytype,
                                             OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_KEYPAIR
                                             | OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_DOMAIN_PARAMETERS,
                                             NULL, NULL);
        if (dctx == NULL) {
            /* error: no suitable potential decoders found */
        }
        if (pass != NULL)
            OSSL_DECODER_CTX_set_passphrase(dctx, pass, strlen(pass));
        if (OSSL_DECODER_from_data(dctx, &data, &datalen)) {
            /* pkey is created with the decoded data from the buffer */
        } else {
            /* decoding failure */
        }
        OSSL_DECODER_CTX_free(dctx);
