85 returns 1 if the public key parameters of
87 are missing and 0 if they are present or the algorithm doesn't use
91 .Fn EVP_PKEY_copy_parameters
92 copies the parameters from key
96 An error is returned if the parameters are missing in
100 .Fn EVP_PKEY_cmp_parameters
101 compares the parameters of keys
108 compares the public key components and parameters (if present) of keys
113 The main purpose of the functions
114 .Fn EVP_PKEY_missing_parameters
116 .Fn EVP_PKEY_copy_parameters
117 is to handle public keys in certificates where the parameters are
118 sometimes omitted from a public key if they are inherited from the CA
121 Since OpenSSL private keys contain public key components too, the
124 can also be used to determine if a private key matches a public key.
127 .Fn EVP_PKEY_missing_parameters
128 returns 1 if the public key parameters of
130 are missing and 0 if they are present or the algorithm doesn't use
134 .Fn EVP_PKEY_copy_parameters
135 returns 1 for success and 0 for failure.
138 .Fn EVP_PKEY_cmp_parameters
141 return 1 if the keys match, 0 if they don't match, -1 if the key types
142 are different and -2 if the operation is not supported.
