DESCRIPTION

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

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

       EVP_KEYEXCH_free() decrements the reference count for the 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       EVP_KEYEXCH_gettable_ctx_params() and EVP_KEYEXCH_settable_ctx_params() return a constant
       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 EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_params(3) and
       EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params(3).

RETURN VALUES

       EVP_KEYEXCH_fetch() returns a pointer to a 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 exchange was identifiable, otherwise 0.

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