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 "PKCS12_key_gen_utf8_ex 3" For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.

The ID byte id determines how the resulting key is intended to be used: If ID=1, then the pseudorandom bits being produced are to be used as key material for performing encryption or decryption. If ID=2, then the pseudorandom bits being produced are to be used as an IV (Initial Value) for encryption or decryption. If ID=3, then the pseudorandom bits being produced are to be used as an integrity key for MACing.

The intended format of the supplied password is determined by the method chosen:

\fBPKCS12_key_gen_asc() and PKCS12_key_gen_asc_ex() expect an ASCII-formatted password. \fBPKCS12_key_gen_uni() and PKCS12_key_gen_uni_ex() expect a Unicode-formatted password. \fBPKCS12_key_gen_utf8() and PKCS12_key_gen_utf8_ex() expect a UTF-8 encoded password.

\fIpass is the password used in the derivation of length passlen. pass is an optional parameter and can be NULL. If passlen is -1, then the function will calculate the length of pass using strlen().

\fIsalt is the salt used in the derivation of length saltlen. If the \fIsalt is NULL, then saltlen must be 0. The function will not attempt to calculate the length of the salt because it is not assumed to be NULL terminated.

\fIiter is the iteration count and its value should be greater than or equal to 1. RFC 2898 suggests an iteration count of at least 1000. Any \fIiter less than 1 is treated as a single iteration.

\fIdigest is the message digest function used in the derivation.

The derived key will be written to out. The size of the out buffer is specified via n.

Functions ending in _ex() allow for a library context ctx and property query \fIpropq to be used to select algorithm implementations.

Header "NOTES" A typical application of this function is to derive keying material for an encryption algorithm from a password in the pass, a salt in salt, and an iteration count.

Increasing the iter parameter slows down the algorithm which makes it harder for an attacker to perform a brute force attack using a large number of candidate passwords.

Header "RETURN VALUES" Returns 1 on success or 0 on error.
