-=head1 NAME
-
-EVP_SignInit, EVP_SignInit_ex, EVP_SignUpdate, EVP_SignFinal - EVP signing
-functions
-
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
-
- #include <openssl/evp.h>
-
- int EVP_SignInit_ex(EVP_MD_CTX *ctx, const EVP_MD *type, ENGINE *impl);
- int EVP_SignUpdate(EVP_MD_CTX *ctx, const void *d, unsigned int cnt);
- int EVP_SignFinal(EVP_MD_CTX *ctx,unsigned char *sig,unsigned int *s, EVP_PKEY *pkey);
-
- void EVP_SignInit(EVP_MD_CTX *ctx, const EVP_MD *type);
-
- int EVP_PKEY_size(EVP_PKEY *pkey);
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-The EVP signature routines are a high level interface to digital
-signatures.
-
-EVP_SignInit_ex() sets up signing context B<ctx> to use digest
-B<type> from ENGINE B<impl>. B<ctx> must be initialized with
-EVP_MD_CTX_init() before calling this function.
-
-EVP_SignUpdate() hashes B<cnt> bytes of data at B<d> into the
-signature context B<ctx>. This function can be called several times on the
-same B<ctx> to include additional data.
-
-EVP_SignFinal() signs the data in B<ctx> using the private key B<pkey> and
-places the signature in B<sig>. B<sig> must be at least EVP_PKEY_size(pkey)
-bytes in size. B<s> is an OUT paramter, and not used as an IN parameter.
-The number of bytes of data written (i.e. the length of the signature)
-will be written to the integer at B<s>, at most EVP_PKEY_size(pkey) bytes
-will be written.
-
-EVP_SignInit() initializes a signing context B<ctx> to use the default
-implementation of digest B<type>.
-
-EVP_PKEY_size() returns the maximum size of a signature in bytes. The actual
-signature returned by EVP_SignFinal() may be smaller.
-
-=head1 RETURN VALUES
-
-EVP_SignInit_ex(), EVP_SignUpdate() and EVP_SignFinal() return 1
-for success and 0 for failure.
-
-EVP_PKEY_size() returns the maximum size of a signature in bytes.
-
-The error codes can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>.
-
-=head1 NOTES
-
-The B<EVP> interface to digital signatures should almost always be used in
-preference to the low level interfaces. This is because the code then becomes
-transparent to the algorithm used and much more flexible.
-
-Due to the link between message digests and public key algorithms the correct
-digest algorithm must be used with the correct public key type. A list of
-algorithms and associated public key algorithms appears in 
-L<EVP_DigestInit(3)|EVP_DigestInit(3)>.
-
-When signing with DSA private keys the random number generator must be seeded
-or the operation will fail. The random number generator does not need to be
-seeded for RSA signatures.
-
-The call to EVP_SignFinal() internally finalizes a copy of the digest context.
-This means that calls to EVP_SignUpdate() and EVP_SignFinal() can be called
-later to digest and sign additional data.
-
-Since only a copy of the digest context is ever finalized the context must
-be cleaned up after use by calling EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup() or a memory leak
-will occur.
-
-=head1 BUGS
-
-Older versions of this documentation wrongly stated that calls to 
-EVP_SignUpdate() could not be made after calling EVP_SignFinal().
-
-Since the private key is passed in the call to EVP_SignFinal() any error
-relating to the private key (for example an unsuitable key and digest
-combination) will not be indicated until after potentially large amounts of
-data have been passed through EVP_SignUpdate().
-
-It is not possible to change the signing parameters using these function.
-
-The previous two bugs are fixed in the newer EVP_SignDigest*() function.
