NAME

       OSSL_ITEM - OpenSSL Core type for generic itemized data

SYNOPSIS

        #include <openssl/core.h>

        typedef struct ossl_item_st OSSL_ITEM;
        struct ossl_item_st {
            unsigned int id;
            void *ptr;
        };

DESCRIPTION

       This type is a tuple of integer and pointer.  It's a generic type used as a generic
       descriptor, its exact meaning being defined by how it's used.  Arrays of this type are
       passed between the OpenSSL libraries and the providers, and must be terminated with a
       tuple where the integer is zero and the pointer NULL.

       This is currently mainly used for the return value of the provider's error reason strings
       array, see "Provider Functions" in provider-base(7).
