+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER\fR is a method for decoders, which know how to
+decode encoded data into an object of some type that the rest
+of OpenSSL knows how to handle.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_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 \fIname\fR and the properties given by \fIproperties\fR.
+The \fIname\fR determines what type of object the fetched decoder
+method is expected to be able to decode, and the properties are
+used to determine the expected output type.
+For known properties and the values they may have, please have a look
+in "Names and properties" in \fBprovider\-encoder\fR\|(7).
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_up_ref()\fR increments the reference count for the given
+\&\fIdecoder\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_free()\fR decrements the reference count for the given
+\&\fIdecoder\fR, and when the count reaches zero, frees it.
+If the argument is NULL, nothing is done.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_get0_provider()\fR returns the provider of the given
+\&\fIdecoder\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_get0_properties()\fR returns the property definition associated
+with the given \fIdecoder\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_is_a()\fR checks if \fIdecoder\fR is an implementation
+of an algorithm that's identifiable with \fIname\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_get0_name()\fR returns the name used to fetch the given \fIdecoder\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_get0_description()\fR returns a description of the \fIdecoder\fR, meant
+for display and human consumption. The description is at the discretion
+of the \fIdecoder\fR implementation.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_names_do_all()\fR traverses all names for the given
+\&\fIdecoder\fR, and calls \fIfn\fR with each name and \fIdata\fR as arguments.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_do_all_provided()\fR traverses all decoder
+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 \fIarg\fR as arguments.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_gettable_params()\fR returns an \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3)
+array of parameter descriptors.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_get_params()\fR attempts to get parameters specified
+with an \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) array \fIparams\fR. Parameters that the
+implementation doesn't recognise should be ignored.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_fetch()\fR returns a pointer to an OSSL_DECODER object,
+or NULL on error.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_up_ref()\fR returns 1 on success, or 0 on error.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_free()\fR doesn't return any value.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_get0_provider()\fR returns a pointer to a provider object, or
+NULL on error.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_get0_properties()\fR returns a pointer to a property
+definition string, or NULL on error.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_is_a()\fR returns 1 if \fIdecoder\fR was identifiable,
+otherwise 0.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_get0_name()\fR returns the algorithm name from the provided
+implementation for the given \fIdecoder\fR. Note that the \fIdecoder\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 \fIdecoder\fR object and should not be freed by the caller.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_get0_description()\fR returns a pointer to a description, or NULL if
+there isn't one.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_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.
+.SH NOTES
+.IX Header "NOTES"
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_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 EXAMPLES
