=head1 NAME

EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_pbe_pass

- generic KDF support functions

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/kdf.h>

 int EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_pbe_pass(EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx, unsigned char *pass,

                                int passlen);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

These functions are generic support functions for all KDF algorithms.

EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_pbe_pass() sets the password to the B<passlen> first

bytes from B<pass>.

=begin comment

We really should have a few more, such as EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_kdf_salt,

EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_kdf_key (to be used by the algorithms that use a

key, such as hkdf), EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_kdf_md (same thing here).

=end comment

=head1 STRING CTRLS

There is also support for string based control operations via

L<EVP_PKEY_CTX_ctrl_str(3)>.

The B<password> can be directly specified using the B<type> parameter

"pass" or given in hex encoding using the "hexpass" parameter.

=begin comment

Just as for the function description, the strings "salt", "hexsalt",

"key", "hexkey" and "md" should be generically specified, and

supported by the algorithms that use them.

=end comment

=head1 NOTES

All these functions are implemented as macros.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

All these functions return 1 for success and 0 or a negative value for failure.

In particular a return value of -2 indicates the operation is not supported by

the public key algorithm.
