NAME
EVP_PKEY_get_default_digest_nid —
get default signature digest
SYNOPSIS
#include
<openssl/evp.h>
int
EVP_PKEY_get_default_digest_nid(EVP_PKEY
*pkey, int *pnid);
DESCRIPTION
TheEVP_PKEY_get_default_digest_nid()
function sets pnid to the default message digest NID for
the public key signature operations associated with key
pkey.
For all current standard OpenSSL public key algorithms, SHA1 is returned.
RETURN VALUES
The EVP_PKEY_get_default_digest_nid()
function returns 1 if the message digest is advisory (that is other digests
can be used) and 2 if it is mandatory (other digests cannot be used). It
returns 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.
