DESCRIPTION
       OSSL_STORE_LOADER is a method for OSSL_STORE loaders, which implement
       OSSL_STORE_open(), OSSL_STORE_open_ex(), OSSL_STORE_load(),
       OSSL_STORE_eof(), OSSL_STORE_error() and OSSL_STORE_close() for
       specific storage schemes.

       OSSL_STORE_LOADER_fetch() looks for an implementation for a storage
       scheme within the providers that has been loaded into the OSSL_LIB_CTX
       given by libctx, and with the properties given by properties.

       OSSL_STORE_LOADER_up_ref() increments the reference count for the given
       loader.

       OSSL_STORE_LOADER_free() decrements the reference count for the given
       loader, and when the count reaches zero, frees it.

       OSSL_STORE_LOADER_get0_provider() returns the provider of the given
       loader.

       OSSL_STORE_LOADER_get0_properties() returns the property definition
       associated with the given loader.

       OSSL_STORE_LOADER_is_a() checks if loader is an implementation of an
       algorithm that's identifiable with scheme.

       OSSL_STORE_LOADER_get0_description() returns a description of the
       loader, meant for display and human consumption.  The description is at
       the discretion of the loader implementation.

       OSSL_STORE_LOADER_do_all_provided() traverses all store implementations
       by all activated providers in the library context libctx, and for each
       of the implementations, calls user_fn with the implementation method
       and user_arg as arguments.

       OSSL_STORE_LOADER_names_do_all() traverses all names for the given
       loader, and calls fn with each name and data.

   Legacy Types and Functions (deprecated)
       These functions help applications and engines to create loaders for
       schemes they support.  These are all deprecated and discouraged in
       favour of provider implementations, see provider-storemgmt(7).

       OSSL_STORE_LOADER_CTX is a type template, to be defined by each loader
       using "struct ossl_store_loader_ctx_st { ... }".

       OSSL_STORE_open_fn, OSSL_STORE_open_ex_fn, OSSL_STORE_ctrl_fn,
       OSSL_STORE_expect_fn, OSSL_STORE_find_fn, OSSL_STORE_load_fn,
       OSSL_STORE_eof_fn, and OSSL_STORE_close_fn are the function pointer
       types used within a STORE loader.  The functions pointed at define the
       functionality of the given loader.

       OSSL_STORE_open_fn and OSSL_STORE_open_ex_fn
           OSSL_STORE_open_ex_fn takes a URI and is expected to interpret it
           in the best manner possible according to the scheme the loader
           implements.  It also takes a UI_METHOD and associated data, to be
           used any time something needs to be prompted for, as well as a
           library context libctx with an associated property query propq, to
           be used when fetching necessary algorithms to perform the loads.
           Furthermore, this function is expected to initialize what needs to
           be initialized, to create a private data store
           (OSSL_STORE_LOADER_CTX, see above), and to return it.  If something
           goes wrong, this function is expected to return NULL.

           OSSL_STORE_open_fn does the same thing as OSSL_STORE_open_ex_fn but
           uses NULL for the library context libctx and property query propq.

       OSSL_STORE_attach_fn
           This function takes a BIO, otherwise works like
           OSSL_STORE_open_ex_fn.

       OSSL_STORE_ctrl_fn
           This function takes a OSSL_STORE_LOADER_CTX pointer, a command
           number cmd and a va_list args and is used to manipulate loader
           specific parameters.

           Loader specific command numbers must begin at
           OSSL_STORE_C_CUSTOM_START.  Any number below that is reserved for
           future globally known command numbers.

           This function is expected to return 1 on success, 0 on error.

       OSSL_STORE_expect_fn
           This function takes a OSSL_STORE_LOADER_CTX pointer and a
           OSSL_STORE_INFO identity expected, and is used to tell the loader
           what object type is expected.  expected may be zero to signify that
           no specific object type is expected.

           This function is expected to return 1 on success, 0 on error.

       OSSL_STORE_find_fn
           This function takes a OSSL_STORE_LOADER_CTX pointer and a
           OSSL_STORE_SEARCH search criterion, and is used to tell the loader
           what to search for.

           When called with the loader context being NULL, this function is
           expected to return 1 if the loader supports the criterion,
           otherwise 0.

           When called with the loader context being something other than
           NULL, this function is expected to return 1 on success, 0 on error.

       OSSL_STORE_load_fn
           This function takes a OSSL_STORE_LOADER_CTX pointer and a UI_METHOD
           with associated data.  It's expected to load the next available
           data, mold it into a data structure that can be wrapped in a
           OSSL_STORE_INFO using one of the OSSL_STORE_INFO(3) functions.  If
           no more data is available or an error occurs, this function is
           expected to return NULL. The OSSL_STORE_eof_fn and
           OSSL_STORE_error_fn functions must indicate if it was in fact the
           end of data or if an error occurred.

           Note that this function retrieves one data item only.

       OSSL_STORE_eof_fn
           This function takes a OSSL_STORE_LOADER_CTX pointer and is expected
           to return 1 to indicate that the end of available data has been
           reached.  It is otherwise expected to return 0.

       OSSL_STORE_error_fn
           This function takes a OSSL_STORE_LOADER_CTX pointer and is expected
           to return 1 to indicate that an error occurred in a previous call
           to the OSSL_STORE_load_fn function.  It is otherwise expected to
           return 0.

       OSSL_STORE_close_fn
           This function takes a OSSL_STORE_LOADER_CTX pointer and is expected
           to close or shut down what needs to be closed, and finally free the
           contents of the OSSL_STORE_LOADER_CTX pointer.  It returns 1 on
           success and 0 on error.

       OSSL_STORE_LOADER_new() creates a new OSSL_STORE_LOADER.  It takes an
       ENGINE e and a string scheme.  scheme must always be set.  Both e and
       scheme are used as is and must therefore be alive as long as the
       created loader is.

       OSSL_STORE_LOADER_get0_engine() returns the engine of the store_loader.
       OSSL_STORE_LOADER_get0_scheme() returns the scheme of the store_loader.

       OSSL_STORE_LOADER_set_open() sets the opener function for the
       store_loader.

       OSSL_STORE_LOADER_set_open_ex() sets the opener with library context
       function for the store_loader.

       OSSL_STORE_LOADER_set_attach() sets the attacher function for the
       store_loader.

       OSSL_STORE_LOADER_set_ctrl() sets the control function for the
       store_loader.

       OSSL_STORE_LOADER_set_expect() sets the expect function for the
       store_loader.

       OSSL_STORE_LOADER_set_load() sets the loader function for the
       store_loader.

       OSSL_STORE_LOADER_set_eof() sets the end of file checker function for
       the store_loader.

       OSSL_STORE_LOADER_set_close() sets the closing function for the
       store_loader.

       OSSL_STORE_LOADER_free() frees the given store_loader.

       OSSL_STORE_register_loader() register the given store_loader and
       thereby makes it available for use with OSSL_STORE_open(),
       OSSL_STORE_open_ex(), OSSL_STORE_load(), OSSL_STORE_eof() and
       OSSL_STORE_close().

       OSSL_STORE_unregister_loader() unregister the store loader for the
       given scheme.

RETURN VALUES
       OSSL_STORE_LOADER_fetch() returns a pointer to an OSSL_STORE_LOADER
       object, or NULL on error.

       OSSL_STORE_LOADER_up_ref() returns 1 on success, or 0 on error.

       OSSL_STORE_LOADER_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.

       OSSL_STORE_LOADER_free() doesn't return any value.

       OSSL_STORE_LOADER_get0_provider() returns a pointer to a provider
       object, or NULL on error.

       OSSL_STORE_LOADER_get0_properties() returns a pointer to a property
       definition string, or NULL on error.

       OSSL_STORE_LOADER_is_a() returns 1 if loader was identifiable,
       otherwise 0.

       OSSL_STORE_LOADER_get0_description() returns a pointer to a
       description, or NULL if there isn't one.

       The functions with the types OSSL_STORE_open_fn, OSSL_STORE_open_ex_fn,
       OSSL_STORE_ctrl_fn, OSSL_STORE_expect_fn, OSSL_STORE_load_fn,
       OSSL_STORE_eof_fn and OSSL_STORE_close_fn have the same return values
       as OSSL_STORE_open(), OSSL_STORE_open_ex(), OSSL_STORE_ctrl(),
       OSSL_STORE_expect(), OSSL_STORE_load(), OSSL_STORE_eof() and
       OSSL_STORE_close(), respectively.

       OSSL_STORE_LOADER_new() returns a pointer to a OSSL_STORE_LOADER on
       success, or NULL on failure.

       OSSL_STORE_LOADER_set_ctrl(), OSSL_STORE_LOADER_set_load(),
       OSSL_STORE_LOADER_set_eof() and OSSL_STORE_LOADER_set_close() return 1
       on success, or 0 on failure.

       OSSL_STORE_register_loader() returns 1 on success, or 0 on failure.

       OSSL_STORE_unregister_loader() returns the unregistered loader on
       success, or NULL on failure.
