=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<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
I<scheme> within the providers that has been loaded into the B<OSSL_LIB_CTX>
given by I<libctx>, and with the properties given by I<properties>.

OSSL_STORE_LOADER_up_ref() increments the reference count for the given
I<loader>.

OSSL_STORE_LOADER_free() decrements the reference count for the given
I<loader>, and when the count reaches zero, frees it.
If the argument is NULL, nothing is done.

OSSL_STORE_LOADER_get0_provider() returns the provider of the given
I<loader>.

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

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

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

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

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

=head2 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 L<provider-storemgmt(7)>.

B<OSSL_STORE_LOADER_CTX> is a type template, to be defined by each loader
using C<struct ossl_store_loader_ctx_st { ... }>.

B<OSSL_STORE_open_fn>, B<OSSL_STORE_open_ex_fn>,
B<OSSL_STORE_ctrl_fn>, B<OSSL_STORE_expect_fn>, B<OSSL_STORE_find_fn>,
B<OSSL_STORE_load_fn>, B<OSSL_STORE_eof_fn>, and B<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.

=over 4

=item B<OSSL_STORE_open_fn> and B<OSSL_STORE_open_ex_fn>

B<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 B<UI_METHOD> and associated data,
to be used any time something needs to be prompted for, as well as a
library context I<libctx> with an associated property query I<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 (B<OSSL_STORE_LOADER_CTX>,
see above), and to return it.
If something goes wrong, this function is expected to return NULL.

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

=item B<OSSL_STORE_attach_fn>

This function takes a B<BIO>, otherwise works like
B<OSSL_STORE_open_ex_fn>.

=item B<OSSL_STORE_ctrl_fn>

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

=begin comment

Globally known command numbers are documented in L<OSSL_STORE_ctrl(3)>,
along with what I<args> are expected with each of them.

=end comment

Loader specific command numbers must begin at B<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.

=item B<OSSL_STORE_expect_fn>

This function takes a B<OSSL_STORE_LOADER_CTX> pointer and a B<OSSL_STORE_INFO>
identity I<expected>, and is used to tell the loader what object type is
expected.
I<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.

=item B<OSSL_STORE_find_fn>

This function takes a B<OSSL_STORE_LOADER_CTX> pointer and a
B<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.

=item B<OSSL_STORE_load_fn>

This function takes a B<OSSL_STORE_LOADER_CTX> pointer and a B<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 B<OSSL_STORE_INFO> using one of the
L<OSSL_STORE_INFO(3)> functions.
If no more data is available or an error occurs, this function is
expected to return NULL.
The B<OSSL_STORE_eof_fn> and B<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 I<one> data item only.

=item B<OSSL_STORE_eof_fn>

This function takes a B<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.

=item B<OSSL_STORE_error_fn>

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

=item B<OSSL_STORE_close_fn>

This function takes a B<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 B<OSSL_STORE_LOADER_CTX> pointer.
It returns 1 on success and 0 on error.

=back

OSSL_STORE_LOADER_new() creates a new B<OSSL_STORE_LOADER>.
It takes an B<ENGINE> I<e> and a string I<scheme>.
I<scheme> must I<always> be set.
Both I<e> and I<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 I<store_loader>.
OSSL_STORE_LOADER_get0_scheme() returns the scheme of the I<store_loader>.

OSSL_STORE_LOADER_set_open() sets the opener function for the
I<store_loader>.

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

OSSL_STORE_LOADER_set_attach() sets the attacher function for the
I<store_loader>.

OSSL_STORE_LOADER_set_ctrl() sets the control function for the
I<store_loader>.

OSSL_STORE_LOADER_set_expect() sets the expect function for the
I<store_loader>.

OSSL_STORE_LOADER_set_load() sets the loader function for the
I<store_loader>.

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

OSSL_STORE_LOADER_set_close() sets the closing function for the
I<store_loader>.

OSSL_STORE_LOADER_free() frees the given I<store_loader>.
If the argument is NULL, nothing is done.

OSSL_STORE_register_loader() register the given I<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
I<scheme>.

=head1 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 I<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 B<OSSL_STORE_open_fn>,
B<OSSL_STORE_open_ex_fn>, B<OSSL_STORE_ctrl_fn>,
B<OSSL_STORE_expect_fn>, B<OSSL_STORE_load_fn>, B<OSSL_STORE_eof_fn>

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 B<OSSL_STORE_LOADER> on success,
or NULL on failure.

OSSL_STORE_LOADER_set_open(), OSSL_STORE_LOADER_set_open_ex(),
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.
