+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+\&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT\fR is a method object that represents key management
+implementations for different cryptographic algorithms.
+This method object provides functionality to have providers import key
+material from the outside, as well as export key material to the
+outside.
+Most of the functionality can only be used internally and has no
+public interface, this object is simply passed into other functions
+when needed.
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_fetch()\fR looks for an algorithm within the provider that
+has been loaded into the \fBOSSL_LIB_CTX\fR given by \fIctx\fR, having the
+name given by \fIalgorithm\fR and the properties given by \fIproperties\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_up_ref()\fR increments the reference count for the given
+\&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT\fR \fIkeymgmt\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_free()\fR decrements the reference count for the given
+\&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT\fR \fIkeymgmt\fR, and when the count reaches zero, frees it.
+If the argument is NULL, nothing is done.
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_get0_provider()\fR returns the provider that has this particular
+implementation.
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_is_a()\fR checks if \fIkeymgmt\fR is an implementation of an
+algorithm that's identifiable with \fIname\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_get0_name()\fR returns the algorithm name from the provided
+implementation for the given \fIkeymgmt\fR. Note that the \fIkeymgmt\fR may have
+multiple synonyms associated with it. In this case the first name from the
+algorithm definition is returned. Ownership of the returned string is
+retained by the \fIkeymgmt\fR object and should not be freed by the caller.
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_names_do_all()\fR traverses all names for the \fIkeymgmt\fR, and
+calls \fIfn\fR with each name and \fIdata\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_get0_description()\fR returns a description of the \fIkeymgmt\fR, meant
+for display and human consumption. The description is at the discretion
+of the \fIkeymgmt\fR implementation.
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_do_all_provided()\fR traverses all key keymgmt implementations by
+all activated providers in the library context \fIlibctx\fR, and for each
+of the implementations, calls \fIfn\fR with the implementation method and
+\&\fIdata\fR as arguments.
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_gettable_params()\fR and \fBEVP_KEYMGMT_settable_params()\fR return a
+constant \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) array that describes the names and types of key
+parameters that can be retrieved or set.
+\&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_gettable_params()\fR is used by \fBEVP_PKEY_gettable_params\fR\|(3).
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_gen_gettable_params()\fR and \fBEVP_KEYMGMT_gen_settable_params()\fR return a
+constant \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) array that describes the names and types of key
+generation parameters that can be retrieved or set via
+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_get_params\fR\|(3) or \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params\fR\|(3) respectively.
+.SH NOTES
+.IX Header "NOTES"
+\&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_fetch()\fR may be called implicitly by other fetching
+functions, using the same library context and properties.
+Any other API that uses keys will typically do this.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
+\&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_fetch()\fR returns a pointer to the key management
+implementation represented by an EVP_KEYMGMT object, or NULL on
+error.
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_up_ref()\fR returns 1 on success, or 0 on error.
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_names_do_all()\fR returns 1 if the callback was called for all
+names. A return value of 0 means that the callback was not called for any names.
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_free()\fR doesn't return any value.
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_get0_provider()\fR returns a pointer to a provider object, or NULL
+on error.
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_is_a()\fR returns 1 of \fIkeymgmt\fR was identifiable,
+otherwise 0.
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_get0_name()\fR returns the algorithm name, or NULL on error.
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_get0_description()\fR returns a pointer to a description, or NULL if
+there isn't one.
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_gettable_params()\fR, \fBEVP_KEYMGMT_settable_params()\fR,
+\&\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_gen_gettable_params()\fR and \fBEVP_KEYMGMT_gen_settable_params()\fR
+return a constant \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) array or NULL on error.
