=head1 DESCRIPTION

These functions help applications and engines to create loaders for
schemes they support.

=head2 Types

B<OSSL_STORE_LOADER> is the type to hold a loader.
It contains a scheme and the functions needed to implement
OSSL_STORE_open(), OSSL_STORE_load(), OSSL_STORE_eof(), OSSL_STORE_error() and
OSSL_STORE_close() for this scheme.

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

B<OSSL_STORE_open_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>

This function 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.
Furthermore, this function is expected to initialize what needs to be
initialized, to create a privata data store (B<OSSL_STORE_LOADER_CTX>, see
above), and to return it.
If something goes wrong, this function is expected to return NULL.

=item B<OSSL_STORE_ctrl_fn>

This function takes a B<OSSL_STORE_LOADER_CTX> pointer, a command number
B<cmd> and a B<va_list> B<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 B<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 B<expected>, and is used to tell the loader what object type is
expected.
B<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 B<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 B<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.

=head2 Functions

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

OSSL_STORE_LOADER_free() frees the given B<store_loader>.

OSSL_STORE_register_loader() register the given B<store_loader> and thereby
makes it available for use with OSSL_STORE_open(), OSSL_STORE_load(),
OSSL_STORE_eof() and OSSL_STORE_close().

OSSL_STORE_unregister_loader() unregister the store loader for the given
B<scheme>.

=head1 NOTES

The B<file:> scheme has built in support.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

The functions with the types B<OSSL_STORE_open_fn>, B<OSSL_STORE_ctrl_fn>,
B<OSSL_STORE_expect_fn>,
B<OSSL_STORE_load_fn>, B<OSSL_STORE_eof_fn> and B<OSSL_STORE_close_fn> have the
same return values as OSSL_STORE_open(), 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 B<NULL> on failure.

OSSL_STORE_LOADER_set_open(), 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 B<NULL> on failure.
