                                    size_t *out_sz);
 int EVP_PKEY_get_octet_string_param(const EVP_PKEY *pkey, const char *key_name,
                                     unsigned char *buf, size_t max_buf_sz,

=head1 DESCRIPTION

EVP_PKEY_get_params() retrieves parameters from the key I<pkey>, according to
the contents of I<params>.
See L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> for information about parameters.

EVP_PKEY_gettable_params() returns a constant list of I<params> indicating
the names and types of key parameters that can be retrieved.
See L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> for information about parameters.

EVP_PKEY_get_int_param() retrieves a key I<pkey> integer value I<*out>
associated with a name of I<key_name>.

EVP_PKEY_get_size_t_param() retrieves a key I<pkey> size_t value I<*out>
associated with a name of I<key_name>.

EVP_PKEY_get_bn_param() retrieves a key I<pkey> BIGNUM value I<**bn>
associated with a name of I<key_name>. If I<*bn> is NULL then the BIGNUM
is allocated by the method.

EVP_PKEY_get_utf8_string_param() get a key I<pkey> UTF8 string value int a buffer
I<str> of maximum size I<max_buf_sz> associated with a name of I<key_name>.
I<*out_sz> is the returned size of the string if it is not NULL.

EVP_PKEY_get_octet_string_param() copy a I<pkey>'s octet string value into a buffer
I<buf> of maximum size I<max_buf_sz> associated with a name of I<key_name>.
I<*out_sz> is the returned size of the buffer if it is not NULL.

=head1 NOTES

These functions only work for B<EVP_PKEY>s that contain a provider side key.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

EVP_PKEY_gettable_params() returns NULL on error or if it is not supported,

All other methods return 1 if a value associated with the key's I<key_name> was
successfully returned, or 0 if there was an error.
An error may be returned by methods EVP_PKEY_get_utf8_string_param() and
EVP_PKEY_get_octet_string_param() if I<max_buf_sz> is not big enough to hold the
value.  If I<out_sz> is not NULL, I<*out_sz> will be assigned the required
buffer size to hold the value.

=head1 EXAMPLES

 #include <openssl/evp.h>

 char *curve_name[64];
 unsigned char pub[256];
 BIGNUM *bn_priv = NULL;

 /*
  * NB: assumes 'key' is set up before the next step. In this example the key
  * is an EC key.
  */

 if (!EVP_PKEY_get_utf8_string_param(key, OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_GROUP_NAME,
                                     curve_name, sizeof(curve_name), &len)) {
   /* Error */
 }
 if (!EVP_PKEY_get_octet_string_param(key, OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_PUB_KEY,
                                      pub, sizeof(pub), &len)) {
     /* Error */
 }
 if (!EVP_PKEY_get_bn_param(key, OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_PRIV_KEY, &bn_priv)) {
     /* Error */
 }
