=head1 NAME

EVP_PKEY_todata, EVP_PKEY_export
- functions to return keys as an array of key parameters

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/evp.h>

 int EVP_PKEY_todata(const EVP_PKEY *pkey, int selection, OSSL_PARAM **params);
 int EVP_PKEY_export(const EVP_PKEY *pkey, int selection,
                     OSSL_CALLBACK *export_cb, void *export_cbarg);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The functions described here are used to extract B<EVP_PKEY> key values as an
array of B<OSSL_PARAM>.

EVP_PKEY_todata() extracts values from a key I<pkey> using the I<selection>.
I<selection> is described in L<EVP_PKEY_fromdata(3)/Selections>.
L<OSSL_PARAM_free(3)> should be used to free the returned parameters in
I<*params>.

EVP_PKEY_export() is similar to EVP_PKEY_todata() but uses a callback
I<export_cb> that gets passed the value of I<export_cbarg>.
See L<openssl-core.h(7)> for more information about the callback. Note that the
B<OSSL_PARAM> array that is passed to the callback is not persistent after the
callback returns. The user must preserve the items of interest, or use
EVP_PKEY_todata() if persistence is required.

=head1 NOTES

These functions only work with key management methods coming from a provider.
This is the mirror function to L<EVP_PKEY_fromdata(3)>.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

EVP_PKEY_todata() and EVP_PKEY_export() return 1 for success and 0 for failure.
