=head1 NAME
EC_KEY_get_enc_flags, EC_KEY_set_enc_flags
- Get and set flags for encoding EC_KEY structures
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/ec.h>
unsigned int EC_KEY_get_enc_flags(const EC_KEY *key);
void EC_KEY_set_enc_flags(EC_KEY *eckey, unsigned int flags);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The format of the external representation of the public key written by
i2d_ECPrivateKey() (such as whether it is stored in a compressed form or not) is
described by the point_conversion_form. See L<EC_GROUP_copy(3)>
for a description of point_conversion_form.
When reading a private key encoded without an associated public key (e.g. if
EC_PKEY_NO_PUBKEY has been used - see below), then d2i_ECPrivateKey() generates
the missing public key automatically. Private keys encoded without parameters
(e.g. if EC_PKEY_NO_PARAMETERS has been used - see below) cannot be loaded using
d2i_ECPrivateKey().
The functions EC_KEY_get_enc_flags() and EC_KEY_set_enc_flags() get and set the
value of the encoding flags for the B<key>. There are two encoding flags
currently defined - EC_PKEY_NO_PARAMETERS and EC_PKEY_NO_PUBKEY. These flags
define the behaviour of how the B<key> is converted into ASN1 in a call to
i2d_ECPrivateKey(). If EC_PKEY_NO_PARAMETERS is set then the public parameters for
the curve are not encoded along with the private key. If EC_PKEY_NO_PUBKEY is
set then the public key is not encoded along with the private key.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
EC_KEY_get_enc_flags() returns the value of the current encoding flags for the
EC_KEY.
