+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+The \fBOSSL_DECODER_CTX\fR holds data about multiple decoders, as needed to
+figure out what the input data is and to attempt to unpack it into one of
+several possible related results. This also includes chaining decoders, so
+the output from one can become the input for another. This allows having
+generic format decoders such as PEM to DER, as well as more specialized
+decoders like DER to RSA.
+.PP
+The chains may be limited by specifying an input type, which is considered a
+starting point. This is both considered by \fBOSSL_DECODER_CTX_add_extra()\fR,
+which will stop adding one more decoder implementations when it has already
+added those that take the specified input type, and functions like
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_from_bio\fR\|(3), which will only start the decoding process with
+the decoder implementations that take that input type. For example, if the
+input type is set to \f(CW\*(C`DER\*(C'\fR, a PEM to DER decoder will be ignored.
+.PP
+The input type can also be NULL, which means that the caller doesn't know
+what type of input they have. In this case, \fBOSSL_DECODER_from_bio()\fR will
+simply try with one decoder implementation after the other, and thereby
+discover what kind of input the caller gave it.
+.PP
+For every decoding done, even an intermediary one, a constructor provided by
+the caller is called to attempt to construct an appropriate type / structure
+that the caller knows how to handle from the current decoding result.
+The constructor is set with \fBOSSL_DECODER_CTX_set_construct()\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_INSTANCE\fR is an opaque structure that contains data about the
+decoder that was just used, and that may be useful for the constructor.
+There are some functions to extract data from this type, described further
+down.
+.SS Functions
+.IX Subsection "Functions"
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_CTX_new()\fR creates a new empty \fBOSSL_DECODER_CTX\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_settable_ctx_params()\fR returns an \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) array of
+parameter descriptors.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_CTX_set_params()\fR attempts to set parameters specified with an
+\&\fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) array \fIparams\fR. These parameters are passed to all
+decoders that have been added to the \fIctx\fR so far. Parameters that an
+implementation doesn't recognise should be ignored by it.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_CTX_free()\fR frees the given context \fIctx\fR.
+If the argument is NULL, nothing is done.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_CTX_add_decoder()\fR populates the \fBOSSL_DECODER_CTX\fR \fIctx\fR with
+a decoder, to be used to attempt to decode some encoded input.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_CTX_add_extra()\fR finds decoders that generate input for already
+added decoders, and adds them as well. This is used to build decoder
+chains.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_CTX_set_input_type()\fR sets the starting input type. This limits
+the decoder chains to be considered, as explained in the general description
+above.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_CTX_set_input_structure()\fR sets the name of the structure that
+the input is expected to have. This may be used to determines what decoder
+implementations may be used. NULL is a valid input structure, when it's not
+relevant, or when the decoder implementations are expected to figure it out.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_CTX_get_num_decoders()\fR gets the number of decoders currently
+added to the context \fIctx\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_CTX_set_construct()\fR sets the constructor \fIconstruct\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_CTX_set_construct_data()\fR sets the constructor data that is
+passed to the constructor every time it's called.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_CTX_set_cleanup()\fR sets the constructor data \fIcleanup\fR
+function. This is called by \fBOSSL_DECODER_CTX_free\fR\|(3).
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_CTX_get_construct()\fR, \fBOSSL_DECODER_CTX_get_construct_data()\fR and
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_CTX_get_cleanup()\fR return the values that have been set by
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_CTX_set_construct()\fR, \fBOSSL_DECODER_CTX_set_construct_data()\fR and
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_CTX_set_cleanup()\fR respectively.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_export()\fR is a fallback function for constructors that cannot
+use the data they get directly for diverse reasons. It takes the same
+decode instance \fIdecoder_inst\fR that the constructor got and an object
+\&\fIreference\fR, unpacks the object which it refers to, and exports it by
+creating an \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) array that it then passes to \fIexport_cb\fR,
+along with \fIexport_arg\fR.
+.SS Constructor
+.IX Subsection "Constructor"
+A \fBOSSL_DECODER_CONSTRUCT\fR gets the following arguments:
+.IP \fIdecoder_inst\fR 4
+.IX Item "decoder_inst"
+The \fBOSSL_DECODER_INSTANCE\fR for the decoder from which the constructor gets
+its data.
+.IP \fIobject\fR 4
+.IX Item "object"
+A provider-native object abstraction produced by the decoder. Further
+information on the provider-native object abstraction can be found in
+\&\fBprovider\-object\fR\|(7).
+.IP \fIconstruct_data\fR 4
+.IX Item "construct_data"
+The pointer that was set with \fBOSSL_DECODE_CTX_set_construct_data()\fR.
+.PP
+The constructor is expected to return 1 when the data it receives can be
+constructed, otherwise 0.
+.PP
+These utility functions may be used by a constructor:
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_INSTANCE_get_decoder()\fR can be used to get the decoder
+implementation from a decoder instance \fIdecoder_inst\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_INSTANCE_get_decoder_ctx()\fR can be used to get the decoder
+implementation's provider context from a decoder instance \fIdecoder_inst\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_INSTANCE_get_input_type()\fR can be used to get the decoder
+implementation's input type from a decoder instance \fIdecoder_inst\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_INSTANCE_get_input_structure()\fR can be used to get the input
+structure for the decoder implementation from a decoder instance
+\&\fIdecoder_inst\fR.
+This may be NULL.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_CTX_new()\fR returns a pointer to a \fBOSSL_DECODER_CTX\fR, or NULL
+if the context structure couldn't be allocated.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_settable_ctx_params()\fR returns an \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) array, or
+NULL if none is available.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_CTX_set_params()\fR returns 1 if all recognised parameters were
+valid, or 0 if one of them was invalid or caused some other failure in the
+implementation.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_CTX_add_decoder()\fR, \fBOSSL_DECODER_CTX_add_extra()\fR,
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_CTX_set_construct()\fR, \fBOSSL_DECODER_CTX_set_construct_data()\fR and
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_CTX_set_cleanup()\fR return 1 on success, or 0 on failure.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_CTX_get_construct()\fR, \fBOSSL_DECODER_CTX_get_construct_data()\fR and
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_CTX_get_cleanup()\fR return the current pointers to the
+constructor, the constructor data and the cleanup functions, respectively.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_CTX_num_decoders()\fR returns the current number of decoders. It
+returns 0 if \fIctx\fR is NULL.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_export()\fR returns 1 on success, or 0 on failure.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_INSTANCE_decoder()\fR returns an \fBOSSL_DECODER\fR pointer on
+success, or NULL on failure.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_INSTANCE_decoder_ctx()\fR returns a provider context pointer on
+success, or NULL on failure.
