EVP_PKEY_gettable_params() returns a constant list of params indicating the names and types of key parameters that can be retrieved. See OSSL_PARAM(3) for information about parameters.
EVP_PKEY_get_int_param() retrieves a key pkey integer value *out associated with a name of key_name.
EVP_PKEY_get_size_t_param() retrieves a key pkey size_t value *out associated with a name of key_name.
EVP_PKEY_get_bn_param() retrieves a key pkey BIGNUM value **bn associated with a name of key_name. If *bn is NULL then the BIGNUM is allocated by the method.
EVP_PKEY_get_utf8_string_param() get a key pkey UTF8 string value into a buffer str of maximum size max_buf_sz associated with a name of key_name. The maximum size must be large enough to accomodate the string value including a terminating NUL byte, or this function will fail. If out_len is not NULL, *out_len is set to the length of the string not including the terminating NUL byte.
EVP_PKEY_get_octet_string_param() get a key pkey's octet string value into a buffer buf of maximum size max_buf_sz associated with a name of key_name. If out_len is not NULL, *out_len is set to the length of the contents.
These functions only work for EVP_PKEYs that contain a provider side key.
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 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 max_buf_sz is not big enough to hold the value. If out_len is not NULL, *out_len will be assigned the required buffer size to hold the value.
