@ -50,15 +50,19 @@ If the B<*a> is not NULL when calling d2i_PrivateKey() or d2i_AutoPrivateKey()
(i.e. an existing structure is being reused) and the key format is PKCS#8
then B<*a> will be freed and replaced on a successful call.
To decode a key with type B<EVP_PKEY_EC>, d2i_PublicKey() requires B<*a> to be
a non-NULL EVP_PKEY structure assigned an EC_KEY structure referencing the proper
EC_GROUP.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
d2i_PrivateKey() and d2i_AutoPrivateKey() return a valid B<EVP_KEY> structure
or B<NULL> if an error occurs. The error code can be obtained by calling
L<ERR_get_error(3)>.
The d2i_PrivateKey(), d2i_AutoPrivateKey(), d2i_PrivateKey_bio(), d2i_PrivateKey_fp(),
and d2i_PublicKey() functions return a valid B<EVP_KEY> structure or B<NULL> if an
error occurs. The error code can be obtained by calling L<ERR_get_error(3)>.
i2d_PrivateKey() returns the number of bytes successfully encoded or a
negative value if an error occurs. The error code can be obtained by calling
L<ERR_get_error(3)>.
i2d_PrivateKey() and i2d_PublicKey() return the number of bytes successfully
encoded or a negative value if an error occurs. The error code can be obtained
by calling L<ERR_get_error(3)>.
