DESCRIPTION¶

OSSL_PROVIDER is a type that holds internal information about implementation providers (see provider(7) for information on what a provider is). A provider can be built in to the application or the OpenSSL libraries, or can be a loadable module. The functions described here handle both forms.

Some of these functions operate within a library context, please see OSSL_LIB_CTX(3) for further details.

RETURN VALUES¶

OSSL_PROVIDER_set_default_search_path(), OSSL_PROVIDER_add(), OSSL_PROVIDER_unload(), OSSL_PROVIDER_get_params() and OSSL_PROVIDER_get_capabilities() return 1 on success, or 0 on error.

OSSL_PROVIDER_get0_default_search_path() returns a pointer to a path on success, or NULL on error or if the path has not previously been set.

OSSL_PROVIDER_load() and OSSL_PROVIDER_try_load() return a pointer to a provider object on success, or NULL on error.

OSSL_PROVIDER_do_all() returns 1 if the callback cb returns 1 for every provider it is called with, or 0 if any provider callback invocation returns 0; callback processing stops at the first callback invocation on a provider that returns 0.

OSSL_PROVIDER_available() returns 1 if the named provider is available, otherwise 0.

OSSL_PROVIDER_gettable_params() returns a pointer to an array of constant OSSL_PARAM(3), or NULL if none is provided.

OSSL_PROVIDER_get_params() and returns 1 on success, or 0 on error.

OSSL_PROVIDER_query_operation() returns an array of OSSL_ALGORITHM or NULL on error.

OSSL_PROVIDER_self_test() returns 1 if the self tests pass, or 0 on error.

EXAMPLES¶

This demonstrates how to load the provider module "foo" and ask for its build information.

 #include <openssl/params.h>
 #include <openssl/provider.h>
 #include <openssl/err.h>
 OSSL_PROVIDER *prov = NULL;
 const char *build = NULL;
 OSSL_PARAM request[] = {
     { "buildinfo", OSSL_PARAM_UTF8_PTR, &build, 0, 0 },
     { NULL, 0, NULL, 0, 0 }
 };
 if ((prov = OSSL_PROVIDER_load(NULL, "foo")) != NULL
     && OSSL_PROVIDER_get_params(prov, request))
     printf("Provider 'foo' buildinfo: %s\n", build);
 else
     ERR_print_errors_fp(stderr);

The OSSL_PROVIDER_load_ex and OSSL_PROVIDER_try_load_ex functions were added in OpenSSL 3.2.
