=head1 DESCRIPTION

EVP_KEYEXCH_fetch() fetches the key exchange implementation for the given
I<algorithm> from any provider offering it, within the criteria given
by the I<properties>.
See L<crypto(7)/ALGORITHM FETCHING> for further information.

The returned value must eventually be freed with EVP_KEYEXCH_free().

EVP_KEYEXCH_free() decrements the reference count for the B<EVP_KEYEXCH>
structure. Typically this structure will have been obtained from an earlier call
to EVP_KEYEXCH_fetch(). If the reference count drops to 0 then the
structure is freed. If the argument is NULL, nothing is done.

EVP_KEYEXCH_up_ref() increments the reference count for an B<EVP_KEYEXCH>
structure.

EVP_KEYEXCH_get0_provider() returns the provider that I<exchange> was
fetched from.

EVP_KEYEXCH_is_a() checks if I<exchange> is an implementation of an
algorithm that's identifiable with I<name>.

EVP_KEYEXCH_get0_name() returns the algorithm name from the provided
implementation for the given I<exchange>. Note that the I<exchange> 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 I<exchange> object and should not be freed by the caller.

EVP_KEYEXCH_names_do_all() traverses all names for the I<exchange>, and
calls I<fn> with each name and I<data>.

EVP_KEYEXCH_get0_description() returns a description of the I<keyexch>, meant
for display and human consumption.  The description is at the discretion of
the I<keyexch> implementation.

EVP_KEYEXCH_do_all_provided() traverses all key exchange implementations by
all activated providers in the library context I<libctx>, and for each
of the implementations, calls I<fn> with the implementation method and
I<data> as arguments.

EVP_KEYEXCH_gettable_ctx_params() and EVP_KEYEXCH_settable_ctx_params() return
a constant L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> array that describes the names and types of key
parameters that can be retrieved or set by a key exchange algorithm using
L<EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_params(3)> and L<EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params(3)>.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

EVP_KEYEXCH_fetch() returns a pointer to a B<EVP_KEYEXCH> for success
or NULL for failure.

EVP_KEYEXCH_up_ref() returns 1 for success or 0 otherwise.

EVP_KEYEXCH_names_do_all() 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.

EVP_KEYEXCH_is_a() returns 1 of I<exchange> was identifiable,
otherwise 0.

EVP_KEYEXCH_gettable_ctx_params() and EVP_KEYEXCH_settable_ctx_params() return
a constant L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> array or NULL on error.
