+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+Generating keys is sometimes straight forward, just generate the key's
+numbers and be done with it. However, there are certain key types that need
+key parameters, often called domain parameters but not necessarily limited
+to that, that also need to be generated. In addition to this, the caller
+may want to set user provided generation parameters that further affect key
+parameter or key generation, such as the desired key size.
+.PP
+To flexibly allow all that's just been described, key parameter and key
+generation is divided into an initialization of a key algorithm context,
+functions to set user provided parameters, and finally the key parameter or
+key generation function itself.
+.PP
+The key algorithm context must be created using \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_new\fR\|(3) or
+variants thereof, see that manual for details.
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_keygen_init()\fR initializes a public key algorithm context \fIctx\fR
+for a key generation operation.
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_paramgen_init()\fR is similar to \fBEVP_PKEY_keygen_init()\fR except key
+parameters are generated.
+.PP
+After initialization, generation parameters may be provided with
+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_ctrl\fR\|(3) or \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params\fR\|(3), or any other
+function described in those manuals.
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_generate()\fR performs the generation operation, the resulting key
+parameters or key are written to \fI*ppkey\fR. If \fI*ppkey\fR is NULL when this
+function is called, it will be allocated, and should be freed by the caller
+when no longer useful, using \fBEVP_PKEY_free\fR\|(3).
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_paramgen()\fR and \fBEVP_PKEY_keygen()\fR do exactly the same thing as
+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_generate()\fR, after checking that the corresponding \fBEVP_PKEY_paramgen_init()\fR
+or \fBEVP_PKEY_keygen_init()\fR was used to initialize \fIctx\fR.
+These are older functions that are kept for backward compatibility.
+It is safe to use \fBEVP_PKEY_generate()\fR instead.
+.PP
+The function \fBEVP_PKEY_set_cb()\fR sets the key or parameter generation callback
+to \fIcb\fR. The function \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_get_cb()\fR returns the key or parameter
+generation callback.
+.PP
+The function \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_get_keygen_info()\fR returns parameters associated
+with the generation operation. If \fIidx\fR is \-1 the total number of
+parameters available is returned. Any non negative value returns the value of
+that parameter. \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_gen_keygen_info()\fR with a nonnegative value for
+\&\fIidx\fR should only be called within the generation callback.
+.PP
+If the callback returns 0 then the key generation operation is aborted and an
+error occurs. This might occur during a time consuming operation where
+a user clicks on a "cancel" button.
+.PP
+The functions \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_set_app_data()\fR and \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_get_app_data()\fR set
+and retrieve an opaque pointer. This can be used to set some application
+defined value which can be retrieved in the callback: for example a handle
+which is used to update a "progress dialog".
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_Q_keygen()\fR abstracts from the explicit use of \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX\fR while
+providing a 'quick' but limited way of generating a new asymmetric key pair.
+It provides shorthands for simple and common cases of key generation.
+As usual, the library context \fIlibctx\fR and property query \fIpropq\fR
+can be given for fetching algorithms from providers.
+If \fItype\fR is \f(CW\*(C`RSA\*(C'\fR,
+a \fBsize_t\fR parameter must be given to specify the size of the RSA key.
+If \fItype\fR is \f(CW\*(C`EC\*(C'\fR,
+a string parameter must be given to specify the name of the EC curve.
+If \fItype\fR is \f(CW\*(C`X25519\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`X448\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`ED25519\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`ED448\*(C'\fR, or \f(CW\*(C`SM2\*(C'\fR
+no further parameter is needed.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_keygen_init()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_paramgen_init()\fR, \fBEVP_PKEY_keygen()\fR and
+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_paramgen()\fR 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.
+.PP
+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_Q_keygen()\fR returns an \fBEVP_PKEY\fR, or NULL on failure.
+.SH NOTES
+.IX Header "NOTES"
+After the call to \fBEVP_PKEY_keygen_init()\fR or \fBEVP_PKEY_paramgen_init()\fR algorithm
+specific control operations can be performed to set any appropriate parameters
+for the operation.
+.PP
+The functions \fBEVP_PKEY_keygen()\fR and \fBEVP_PKEY_paramgen()\fR can be called more than
+once on the same context if several operations are performed using the same
+parameters.
+.PP
+The meaning of the parameters passed to the callback will depend on the
+algorithm and the specific implementation of the algorithm. Some might not
+give any useful information at all during key or parameter generation. Others
+might not even call the callback.
+.PP
+The operation performed by key or parameter generation depends on the algorithm
+used. In some cases (e.g. EC with a supplied named curve) the "generation"
+option merely sets the appropriate fields in an EVP_PKEY structure.
+.PP
+In OpenSSL an EVP_PKEY structure containing a private key also contains the
+public key components and parameters (if any). An OpenSSL private key is
+equivalent to what some libraries call a "key pair". A private key can be used
+in functions which require the use of a public key or parameters.
