EVP_PKEY_cmp(3)			    OpenSSL		       EVP_PKEY_cmp(3)

NAME
       EVP_PKEY_copy_parameters, EVP_PKEY_missing_parameters,
       EVP_PKEY_cmp_parameters, EVP_PKEY_cmp - public key parameter and
       comparison functions

SYNOPSIS
	#include <openssl/evp.h>

	int EVP_PKEY_missing_parameters(const EVP_PKEY *pkey);
	int EVP_PKEY_copy_parameters(EVP_PKEY *to, const EVP_PKEY *from);

	int EVP_PKEY_cmp_parameters(const EVP_PKEY *a, const EVP_PKEY *b);
	int EVP_PKEY_cmp(const EVP_PKEY *a, const EVP_PKEY *b);

DESCRIPTION
       The function EVP_PKEY_missing_parameters() returns 1 if the public key
       parameters of pkey are missing and 0 if they are present or the
       algorithm doesn't use parameters.

       The function EVP_PKEY_copy_parameters() copies the parameters from key
       from to key to.

       The funcion EVP_PKEY_cmp_parameters() compares the parameters of keys a
       and b.

       The funcion EVP_PKEY_cmp() compares the public key components and
       paramters (if present) of keys a and b.

NOTES
       The main purpose of the functions EVP_PKEY_missing_parameters() and
       EVP_PKEY_copy_parameters() is to handle public keys in certificates
       where the parameters are sometimes omitted from a public key if they
       are inherited from the CA that signed it.

       Since OpenSSL private keys contain public key components too the
       function EVP_PKEY_cmp() can also be used to determine if a private key
       matches a public key.

RETURN VALUES
       The function EVP_PKEY_missing_parameters() returns 1 if the public key
       parameters of pkey are missing and 0 if they are present or the
       algorithm doesn't use parameters.

       These functions EVP_PKEY_copy_parameters() returns 1 for success and 0
       for failure.

       The function EVP_PKEY_cmp_parameters() and EVP_PKEY_cmp() return 1 if
       the keys match, 0 if they don't match, -1 if the key types are
       different and -2 if the operation is not supported.
