 =head1 DESCRIPTION

 These functions help the application to fetch supported objects (see
 L<OSSL_STORE_INFO(3)/SUPPORTED OBJECTS> for information on which those are)
 from a given URI (see L</SUPPORTED SCHEMES> for more information on
 the supported URI schemes).
 The general method to do so is to "open" the URI using OSSL_STORE_open(),
 read each available and supported object using OSSL_STORE_load() as long as
 OSSL_STORE_eof() hasn't been reached, and finish it off with OSSL_STORE_close().

 The retrieved information is stored in a B<OSSL_STORE_INFO>, which is further
 described in L<OSSL_STORE_INFO(3)>.

 =head2 Types

 B<OSSL_STORE_CTX> is a context variable that holds all the internal
 information for OSSL_STORE_open(), OSSL_STORE_load(), OSSL_STORE_eof() and
 OSSL_STORE_close() to work together.

 =head2 Functions

 OSSL_STORE_open() takes a uri or path B<uri>, password UI method
 B<ui_method> with associated data B<ui_data>, and post processing
 callback B<post_process> with associated data B<post_process_data>,
 opens a channel to the data located at that URI and returns a
 B<OSSL_STORE_CTX> with all necessary internal information.
 The given B<ui_method> and B<ui_data_data> will be reused by all
 functions that use B<OSSL_STORE_CTX> when interaction is needed.
 The given B<post_process> and B<post_process_data> will be reused by
 OSSL_STORE_load() to manipulate or drop the value to be returned.
 The B<post_process> function drops values by returning B<NULL>, which
 will cause OSSL_STORE_load() to start its process over with loading
 the next object, until B<post_process> returns something other than
 B<NULL>, or the end of data is reached as indicated by OSSL_STORE_eof().

 OSSL_STORE_ctrl() takes a B<OSSL_STORE_CTX>, and command number B<cmd> and
 more arguments not specified here.
 The available loader specific command numbers and arguments they each
 take depends on the loader that's used and is documented together with
 that loader.

 There are also global controls available:

 =over 4

 =item B<OSSL_STORE_C_USE_SECMEM>

 Controls if the loader should attempt to use secure memory for any
 allocated B<OSSL_STORE_INFO> and its contents.
 This control expects one argument, a pointer to an B<int> that is expected to
 have the value 1 (yes) or 0 (no).
 Any other value is an error.

 =back

 OSSL_STORE_load() takes a B<OSSL_STORE_CTX>, tries to load the next available
 object and return it wrapped with  B<OSSL_STORE_INFO>.

 OSSL_STORE_eof() takes a B<OSSL_STORE_CTX> and checks if we've reached the end
 of data.

 OSSL_STORE_error() takes a B<OSSL_STORE_CTX> and checks if an error occurred in
 the last OSSL_STORE_load() call.
 Note that it may still be meaningful to try and load more objects, unless
 OSSL_STORE_eof() shows that the end of data has been reached.

 OSSL_STORE_close() takes a B<OSSL_STORE_CTX>, closes the channel that was opened
 by OSSL_STORE_open() and frees all other information that was stored in the
 B<OSSL_STORE_CTX>, as well as the B<OSSL_STORE_CTX> itself.

 =head1 SUPPORTED SCHEMES

 The basic supported scheme is B<file:>.
 Any other scheme can be added dynamically, using
 OSSL_STORE_register_loader().

 =head1 NOTES

 A string without a scheme prefix (that is, a non-URI string) is
 implicitly interpreted as using the F<file:> scheme.

 There are some tools that can be used together with
 OSSL_STORE_open() to determine if any failure is caused by an unparsable
 URI, or if it's a different error (such as memory allocation
 failures); if the URI was parsable but the scheme unregistered, the
 top error will have the reason C<OSSL_STORE_R_UNREGISTERED_SCHEME>.

 These functions make no direct assumption regarding the pass phrase received
 from the password callback.
 The loaders may make assumptions, however.
 For example, the B<file:> scheme loader inherits the assumptions made by
 OpenSSL functionality that handles the different file types; this is mostly
 relevant for PKCS#12 objects.
 See L<passphrase-encoding(7)> for further information.

 =head1 RETURN VALUES

 OSSL_STORE_open() returns a pointer to a B<OSSL_STORE_CTX> on success, or
 B<NULL> on failure.

 OSSL_STORE_load() returns a pointer to a B<OSSL_STORE_INFO> on success, or
 B<NULL> on error or when end of data is reached.
 Use OSSL_STORE_error() and OSSL_STORE_eof() to determine the meaning of a
 returned B<NULL>.

 OSSL_STORE_eof() returns 1 if the end of data has been reached, otherwise
 0.

 OSSL_STORE_error() returns 1 if an error occurred in an OSSL_STORE_load() call,
 otherwise 0.

 OSSL_STORE_ctrl() and OSSL_STORE_close() returns 1 on success, or 0 on failure.
