=head1 NAME

OSSL_DECODER_from_data,
OSSL_DECODER_from_bio,
OSSL_DECODER_from_fp
- Routines to perform a decoding

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/decoder.h>

 int OSSL_DECODER_from_bio(OSSL_DECODER_CTX *ctx, BIO *in);
 int OSSL_DECODER_from_fp(OSSL_DECODER_CTX *ctx, FILE *fp);
 int OSSL_DECODER_from_data(OSSL_DECODER_CTX *ctx, const unsigned char **pdata,
                            size_t *pdata_len);

Feature availability macros:

=over 4

=item OSSL_DECODER_from_fp() is only available when B<OPENSSL_NO_STDIO>
is undefined.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

OSSL_DECODER_from_data() runs the decoding process for the context I<ctx>,
with input coming from I<*pdata>, I<*pdata_len> bytes long.  Both I<*pdata>
and I<*pdata_len> must be non-NULL.  When OSSL_DECODER_from_data() returns,
I<*pdata> is updated to point at the location after what has been decoded,
and I<*pdata_len> to have the number of remaining bytes.

OSSL_DECODER_from_bio() runs the decoding process for the context I<ctx>,
with the input coming from the B<BIO> I<in>.  Should it make a difference,
it's recommended to have the BIO set in binary mode rather than text mode.

OSSL_DECODER_from_fp() does the same thing as OSSL_DECODER_from_bio(),
except that the input is coming from the B<FILE> I<fp>.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

OSSL_DECODER_from_bio() and OSSL_DECODER_from_fp() return 1 on success, or 0
on failure.
