+.SH DESCRIPTION

+All of the functions described on this page are deprecated.
+Applications should instead use the OSSL_PROVIDER APIs.
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_METHOD\fR is a structure which holds a set of methods for a
+specific public key cryptographic algorithm. Those methods are usually
+used to perform different jobs, such as generating a key, signing or
+verifying, encrypting or decrypting, etc.
+.PP
+There are two places where the \fBEVP_PKEY_METHOD\fR objects are stored: one
+is a built-in static array representing the standard methods for different
+algorithms, and the other one is a stack of user-defined application-specific
+methods, which can be manipulated by using \fBEVP_PKEY_meth_add0\fR\|(3).
+.PP
+The \fBEVP_PKEY_METHOD\fR objects are usually referenced by \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX\fR
+objects.
+.SS Methods
+.IX Subsection "Methods"
+The methods are the underlying implementations of a particular public key
+algorithm present by the \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX\fR object.

+is being duplicated. Refer to \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_new\fR\|(3), \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id\fR\|(3),

+.Ve
+.PP
+If an \fBEVP_PKEY_METHOD\fR is set with the \fBEVP_PKEY_FLAG_AUTOARGLEN\fR flag, the
+maximum size of the output buffer will be automatically calculated or checked
+in corresponding EVP methods by the EVP framework. Thus the implementations of
+these methods don't need to care about handling the case of returning output
+buffer size by themselves. For details on the output buffer size, refer to
+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_sign\fR\|(3).
+.PP
+The \fBEVP_PKEY_FLAG_SIGCTX_CUSTOM\fR is used to indicate the \fBsignctx()\fR method
+of an \fBEVP_PKEY_METHOD\fR is always called by the EVP framework while doing a
+digest signing operation by calling \fBEVP_DigestSignFinal\fR\|(3).
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_meth_free()\fR frees an existing \fBEVP_PKEY_METHOD\fR pointed by
+\&\fBpmeth\fR. If the argument is NULL, nothing is done.
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_meth_copy()\fR copies an \fBEVP_PKEY_METHOD\fR object from \fBsrc\fR
+to \fBdst\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_meth_find()\fR finds an \fBEVP_PKEY_METHOD\fR object with the \fBid\fR.
+This function first searches through the user-defined method objects and
+then the built-in objects.
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_meth_add0()\fR adds \fBpmeth\fR to the user defined stack of methods.
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_meth_remove()\fR removes an \fBEVP_PKEY_METHOD\fR object added by
+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_meth_add0()\fR.
+.PP
+The EVP_PKEY_meth_set functions set the corresponding fields of
+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_METHOD\fR structure with the arguments passed.
+.PP
+The EVP_PKEY_meth_get functions get the corresponding fields of
+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_METHOD\fR structure to the arguments provided.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_meth_new()\fR returns a pointer to a new \fBEVP_PKEY_METHOD\fR
+object or returns NULL on error.
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_meth_free()\fR and \fBEVP_PKEY_meth_copy()\fR do not return values.
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_meth_find()\fR returns a pointer to the found \fBEVP_PKEY_METHOD\fR
+object or returns NULL if not found.
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_meth_add0()\fR returns 1 if method is added successfully or 0
+if an error occurred.
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_meth_remove()\fR returns 1 if method is removed successfully or
+0 if an error occurred.
+.PP
+All EVP_PKEY_meth_set and EVP_PKEY_meth_get functions have no return
+values. For the 'get' functions, function pointers are returned by
+arguments.
+.SH HISTORY
+.IX Header "HISTORY"
+All of these functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
+.PP
+The signature of the \fIcopy\fR functional argument of \fBEVP_PKEY_meth_set_copy()\fR
+has changed in OpenSSL 3.0 so its \fIsrc\fR parameter is now constified.
