=head1 NAME
|
|
|
|
OSSL_DISPATCH, OSSL_DISPATCH_END - OpenSSL Core type to define a dispatchable function table
|
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
#include <openssl/core.h>
|
|
|
|
typedef struct ossl_dispatch_st OSSL_DISPATCH;
|
|
struct ossl_dispatch_st {
|
|
int function_id;
|
|
void (*function)(void);
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
#define OSSL_DISPATCH_END
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
This type is a tuple of function identity and function pointer.
|
|
Arrays of this type are passed between the OpenSSL libraries and the
|
|
providers to describe what functionality one side provides to the other.
|
|
|
|
Arrays of this type must be terminated with the OSSL_DISPATCH_END macro.
|
|
|
|
=head2 B<OSSL_DISPATCH> fields
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item I<function_id>
|
|
|
|
OpenSSL defined function identity of the implemented function.
|
|
|
|
=item I<function>
|
|
|
|
Pointer to the implemented function itself. Despite the generic definition
|
|
of this field, the implemented function it points to must have a function
|
|
signature that corresponds to the I<function_id>
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
Available function identities and corresponding function signatures are
|
|
defined in L<openssl-core_dispatch.h(7)>.
|
|
Furthermore, the chosen function identities and associated function
|
|
signature must be chosen specifically for the operation that it's intended
|
|
for, as determined by the intended L<OSSL_ALGORITHM(3)> array.
|
|
|
|
Any function identity not recognised by the recipient of this type
|
|
will be ignored.
|
|
This ensures that providers built with one OpenSSL version in mind
|
|
will work together with any other OpenSSL version that supports this
|
|
mechanism.

=begin comment RETURN VALUES doesn't make sense for a manual that only
|
|
describes a type, but document checkers still want that section, and
|
|
to have more than just the section title.
