DESCRIPTION
The OSSL_DECODER_CTX holds data about multiple decoders, as needed to figure out what the input data is and to
attempt to unpack it into one of several possible related results. This also includes chaining decoders, so the
output from one can become the input for another. This allows having generic format decoders such as PEM to DER,
as well as more specialized decoders like DER to RSA.
The chains may be limited by specifying an input type, which is considered a starting point. This is both
considered by OSSL_DECODER_CTX_add_extra(), which will stop adding one more decoder implementations when it has
already added those that take the specified input type, and functions like OSSL_DECODER_from_bio(3), which will
only start the decoding process with the decoder implementations that take that input type. For example, if the
input type is set to "DER", a PEM to DER decoder will be ignored.
The input type can also be NULL, which means that the caller doesn't know what type of input they have. In this
case, OSSL_DECODER_from_bio() will simply try with one decoder implementation after the other, and thereby
discover what kind of input the caller gave it.
For every decoding done, even an intermediary one, a constructor provided by the caller is called to attempt to
construct an appropriate type / structure that the caller knows how to handle from the current decoding result.
The constructor is set with OSSL_DECODER_CTX_set_construct().
OSSL_DECODER_INSTANCE is an opaque structure that contains data about the decoder that was just used, and that
may be useful for the constructor. There are some functions to extract data from this type, described further
down.
Functions
OSSL_DECODER_CTX_new() creates a new empty OSSL_DECODER_CTX.
OSSL_DECODER_settable_ctx_params() returns an OSSL_PARAM(3) array of parameter descriptors.
OSSL_DECODER_CTX_set_params() attempts to set parameters specified with an OSSL_PARAM(3) array params. These
parameters are passed to all decoders that have been added to the ctx so far. Parameters that an implementation
doesn't recognise should be ignored by it.
OSSL_DECODER_CTX_free() frees the given context ctx.
OSSL_DECODER_CTX_add_decoder() populates the OSSL_DECODER_CTX ctx with a decoder, to be used to attempt to decode
some encoded input.
OSSL_DECODER_CTX_add_extra() finds decoders that generate input for already added decoders, and adds them as
well. This is used to build decoder chains.
OSSL_DECODER_CTX_set_input_type() sets the starting input type. This limits the decoder chains to be considered,
as explained in the general description above.
OSSL_DECODER_CTX_set_input_structure() sets the name of the structure that the input is expected to have. This
may be used to determines what decoder implementations may be used. NULL is a valid input structure, when it's
not relevant, or when the decoder implementations are expected to figure it out.
OSSL_DECODER_CTX_get_num_decoders() gets the number of decoders currently added to the context ctx.
OSSL_DECODER_CTX_set_construct() sets the constructor construct.
OSSL_DECODER_CTX_set_construct_data() sets the constructor data that is passed to the constructor every time it's
called.
OSSL_DECODER_CTX_set_cleanup() sets the constructor data cleanup function. This is called by
OSSL_DECODER_CTX_free(3).
OSSL_DECODER_CTX_get_construct(), OSSL_DECODER_CTX_get_construct_data() and OSSL_DECODER_CTX_get_cleanup() return
the values that have been set by OSSL_DECODER_CTX_set_construct(), OSSL_DECODER_CTX_set_construct_data() and
OSSL_DECODER_CTX_set_cleanup() respectively.
OSSL_DECODER_export() is a fallback function for constructors that cannot use the data they get directly for
diverse reasons. It takes the same decode instance decoder_inst that the constructor got and an object
reference, unpacks the object which it refers to, and exports it by creating an OSSL_PARAM(3) array that it then
passes to export_cb, along with export_arg.
Constructor
A OSSL_DECODER_CONSTRUCT gets the following arguments:
decoder_inst
The OSSL_DECODER_INSTANCE for the decoder from which the constructor gets its data.
object
A provider-native object abstraction produced by the decoder. Further information on the provider-native
object abstraction can be found in provider-object(7).
construct_data
The pointer that was set with OSSL_DECODE_CTX_set_construct_data().
The constructor is expected to return 1 when the data it receives can be constructed, otherwise 0.
These utility functions may be used by a constructor:
OSSL_DECODER_INSTANCE_get_decoder() can be used to get the decoder implementation from a decoder instance
decoder_inst.
OSSL_DECODER_INSTANCE_get_decoder_ctx() can be used to get the decoder implementation's provider context from a
decoder instance decoder_inst.
OSSL_DECODER_INSTANCE_get_input_type() can be used to get the decoder implementation's input type from a decoder
instance decoder_inst.
OSSL_DECODER_INSTANCE_get_input_structure() can be used to get the input structure for the decoder implementation
from a decoder instance decoder_inst. This may be NULL.
RETURN VALUES
OSSL_DECODER_CTX_new() returns a pointer to a OSSL_DECODER_CTX, or NULL if the context structure couldn't be
allocated.
OSSL_DECODER_settable_ctx_params() returns an OSSL_PARAM(3) array, or NULL if none is available.
OSSL_DECODER_CTX_set_params() returns 1 if all recognised parameters were valid, or 0 if one of them was invalid
or caused some other failure in the implementation.
OSSL_DECODER_CTX_add_decoder(), OSSL_DECODER_CTX_add_extra(), OSSL_DECODER_CTX_set_construct(),
OSSL_DECODER_CTX_set_construct_data() and OSSL_DECODER_CTX_set_cleanup() return 1 on success, or 0 on failure.
OSSL_DECODER_CTX_get_construct(), OSSL_DECODER_CTX_get_construct_data() and OSSL_DECODER_CTX_get_cleanup() return
the current pointers to the constructor, the constructor data and the cleanup functions, respectively.
OSSL_DECODER_CTX_num_decoders() returns the current number of decoders. It returns 0 if ctx is NULL.
OSSL_DECODER_export() returns 1 on success, or 0 on failure.
OSSL_DECODER_INSTANCE_decoder() returns an OSSL_DECODER pointer on success, or NULL on failure.
OSSL_DECODER_INSTANCE_decoder_ctx() returns a provider context pointer on success, or NULL on failure.
