+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+Encoding an input object to the desired encoding may be done with a chain of
+encoder implementations, which means that the output from one encoder may be
+the input for the next in the chain. The \fBOSSL_ENCODER_CTX\fR holds all the
+data about these encoders. This allows having generic format encoders such
+as DER to PEM, as well as more specialized encoders like RSA to DER.
+.PP
+The final output type must be given, and a chain of encoders must end with
+an implementation that produces that output type.
+.PP
+At the beginning of the encoding process, a constructor provided by the
+caller is called to ensure that there is an appropriate provider-side object
+to start with.
+The constructor is set with \fBOSSL_ENCODER_CTX_set_construct()\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_INSTANCE\fR is an opaque structure that contains data about the
+encoder that is going to be used, and that may be useful for the
+constructor. There are some functions to extract data from this type,
+described in "Constructor" below.
+.SS Functions
+.IX Subsection "Functions"
+\&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_CTX_new()\fR creates a \fBOSSL_ENCODER_CTX\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_settable_ctx_params()\fR returns an \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3)
+array of parameter descriptors.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_CTX_set_params()\fR attempts to set parameters specified
+with an \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) array \fIparams\fR. Parameters that the
+implementation doesn't recognise should be ignored.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_CTX_free()\fR frees the given context \fIctx\fR.
+If the argument is NULL, nothing is done.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_CTX_add_encoder()\fR populates the \fBOSSL_ENCODER_CTX\fR
+\&\fIctx\fR with a encoder, to be used to encode an input object.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_CTX_add_extra()\fR finds encoders that further encodes output
+from already added encoders, and adds them as well. This is used to build
+encoder chains.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_CTX_set_output_type()\fR sets the ending output type. This must
+be specified, and determines if a complete encoder chain is available.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_CTX_set_output_structure()\fR sets the desired output structure.
+This may be used to determines what encoder implementations may be used.
+Depending on the type of object being encoded, the output structure may
+not be relevant.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_CTX_get_num_encoders()\fR gets the number of encoders currently
+added to the context \fIctx\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_CTX_set_construct()\fR sets the constructor \fIconstruct\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_CTX_set_construct_data()\fR sets the constructor data that is
+passed to the constructor every time it's called.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_CTX_set_cleanup()\fR sets the constructor data \fIcleanup\fR
+function. This is called by \fBOSSL_ENCODER_CTX_free\fR\|(3).
+.SS Constructor
+.IX Subsection "Constructor"
+A \fBOSSL_ENCODER_CONSTRUCT\fR gets the following arguments:
+.IP \fIencoder_inst\fR 4
+.IX Item "encoder_inst"
+The \fBOSSL_ENCODER_INSTANCE\fR for the encoder from which the constructor gets
+its data.
+.IP \fIconstruct_data\fR 4
+.IX Item "construct_data"
+The pointer that was set with \fBOSSL_ENCODE_CTX_set_construct_data()\fR.
+.PP
+The constructor is expected to return a valid (non-NULL) pointer to a
+provider-native object that can be used as first input of an encoding chain,
+or NULL to indicate that an error has occurred.
+.PP
+These utility functions may be used by a constructor:
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_INSTANCE_get_encoder()\fR can be used to get the encoder
+implementation of the encoder instance \fIencoder_inst\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_INSTANCE_get_encoder_ctx()\fR can be used to get the encoder
+implementation's provider context of the encoder instance \fIencoder_inst\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_INSTANCE_get_output_type()\fR can be used to get the output type
+for the encoder implementation of the encoder instance \fIencoder_inst\fR.
+This will never be NULL.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_INSTANCE_get_output_structure()\fR can be used to get the output
+structure for the encoder implementation of the encoder instance
+\&\fIencoder_inst\fR.
+This may be NULL.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
+\&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_CTX_new()\fR returns a pointer to a \fBOSSL_ENCODER_CTX\fR, or NULL
+if the context structure couldn't be allocated.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_settable_ctx_params()\fR returns an \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) array, or
+NULL if none is available.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_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_ENCODER_CTX_add_encoder()\fR, \fBOSSL_ENCODER_CTX_add_extra()\fR,
+\&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_CTX_set_construct()\fR, \fBOSSL_ENCODER_CTX_set_construct_data()\fR and
+\&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_CTX_set_cleanup()\fR return 1 on success, or 0 on failure.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_CTX_get_num_encoders()\fR returns the current number of encoders.
+It returns 0 if \fIctx\fR is NULL.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_INSTANCE_get_encoder()\fR returns an \fBOSSL_ENCODER\fR pointer on
+success, or NULL on failure.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_INSTANCE_get_encoder_ctx()\fR returns a provider context pointer on
+success, or NULL on failure.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_INSTANCE_get_output_type()\fR returns a string with the name of the
+input type, if relevant. NULL is a valid returned value.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_INSTANCE_get_output_type()\fR returns a string with the name of the
+output type.
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_INSTANCE_get_output_structure()\fR returns a string with the name
+of the output structure.
