.. \*(C` and \*(C' are quotes in nroff, nothing in troff, for use with C<>.
. ds C` "" . ds C' "" 'br\} . ds C` . ds C' 'br\}
Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

Title "EC_KEY_get_enc_flags 3" For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
EC_KEY_get_enc_flags, EC_KEY_set_enc_flags \- Get and set flags for encoding EC_KEY structures Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/ec.h> \& unsigned int EC_KEY_get_enc_flags(const EC_KEY *key); void EC_KEY_set_enc_flags(EC_KEY *eckey, unsigned int flags); .Ve Header "DESCRIPTION" The format of the external representation of the public key written by \fBi2d_ECPrivateKey() (such as whether it is stored in a compressed form or not) is described by the point_conversion_form. See EC_GROUP_copy\|(3) for a description of point_conversion_form.

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) cannot be loaded using \fBd2i_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 key. There are two encoding flags currently defined - EC_PKEY_NO_PARAMETERS and EC_PKEY_NO_PUBKEY. These flags define the behaviour of how the key is converted into ASN1 in a call to \fBi2d_ECPrivateKey(). If EC_PKEY_NO_PARAMETERS is set then the public parameters for the curve are not encoded along with the private key. If EC_PKEY_NO_PUBKEY is set then the public key is not encoded along with the private key.

Header "RETURN VALUES" \fBEC_KEY_get_enc_flags() returns the value of the current encoding flags for the EC_KEY.
