When reading a private key encoded without an associated public key (e.g. if
EC_PKEY_NO_PUBKEY has been used - see below), then d2i_ECPrivateKey generates
the missing public key automatically. Private keys encoded without parameters
-(e.g. if EC_PKEY_NO_PARAMETERS has been used - see below) then the key cannot be
-loaded using d2i_ECPrivateKey.
+(e.g. if EC_PKEY_NO_PARAMETERS has been used - see below) cannot be loaded using
+d2i_ECPrivateKey.
The functions EC_KEY_get_enc_flags and EC_KEY_set_enc_flags get and set the
value of the encoding flags for the B<key>. There are two encoding flags
errors.
The reason for the auto increment behaviour is to reflect a typical
-usage of ASN1 functions: after one structure is encoded or decoded if (a != NULL)
- (*a) = ret;
+usage of ASN1 functions: after one structure is encoded or decoded
another will processed after it.
=head1 EXAMPLES
i2d_X509() will not return an error in many versions of OpenSSL,
if mandatory fields are not initialized due to a programming error
-then the encoded structure may contain invalid data or omit the if (a != NULL)
- (*a) = ret;
+then the encoded structure may contain invalid data or omit the
fields entirely and will not be parsed by d2i_X509(). This may be
fixed in future so code should not assume that i2d_X509() will
always succeed.
