OPENSSL-CORE_NAMES.H(7)             OpenSSL            OPENSSL-CORE_NAMES.H(7)



NAME
       openssl/core_names.h - OpenSSL provider parameter names

LIBRARY
       libcrypto, -lcrypto

SYNOPSIS
        #include <openssl/core_names.h>

DESCRIPTION
       The <openssl/core_names.h> header defines a multitude of macros for
       OSSL_PARAM(3) names, algorithm names and other known names used with
       OpenSSL's providers, made available for practical purposes only.

       Existing names are further described in the manuals for OpenSSL's
       providers (see "SEE ALSO") and the manuals for each algorithm they
       provide (listed in those provider manuals).

SEE ALSO
       OSSL_PROVIDER-default(7), OSSL_PROVIDER-FIPS(7),
       OSSL_PROVIDER-legacy(7)

HISTORY
       The macros described here were added in OpenSSL 3.0.

CAVEATS
       This header file does not constitute a general registry of names.
       Providers that implement new algorithms are to be responsible for their
       own parameter names.

       However, authors of provider that implement their own variants of
       algorithms that OpenSSL providers support will want to pay attention to
       the names provided in this header to work in a compatible manner.
