+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The B<X509_PUBKEY> structure represents the ASN.1 B<SubjectPublicKeyInfo>
+structure defined in RFC5280 and used in certificates and certificate requests.
+
+X509_PUBKEY_new() allocates and initializes an B<X509_PUBKEY> structure.
+
+X509_PUBKEY_free() frees up B<X509_PUBKEY> structure B<a>. If B<a> is NULL
+nothing is done.
+
+X509_PUBKEY_set() sets the public key in B<*x> to the public key contained
+in the B<EVP_PKEY> structure B<pkey>. If B<*x> is not NULL any existing
+public key structure will be freed.
+
+X509_PUBKEY_get0() returns the public key contained in B<key>. The returned
+value is an internal pointer which B<MUST NOT> be freed after use.
+
+X509_PUBKEY_get() is similar to X509_PUBKEY_get0() except the reference
+count on the returned key is incremented so it B<MUST> be freed using
+EVP_PKEY_free() after use.
+
+d2i_PUBKEY() and i2d_PUBKEY() decode and encode an B<EVP_PKEY> structure
+using B<SubjectPublicKeyInfo> format. They otherise follow the conventions of
+other ASN.1 functions such as d2i_X509().
+
+d2i_PUBKEY_bio(), d2i_PUBKEY_fp(), i2d_PUBKEY_bio() and i2d_PUBKEY_fp() are
+similar to d2i_PUBKEY() and i2d_PUBKEY() except they decode or encode using a
+B<BIO> or B<FILE> pointer.
+
+X509_PUBKEY_set0_param() sets the public key parameters of B<pub>. The
+OID associated with the algorithm is set to B<aobj>. The type of the
+algorithm parameters is set to B<type> using the structure B<pval>.
+The encoding of the public key itself is set to the B<penclen>
+bytes contained in buffer B<penc>. On success ownership of all the supplied
+parameters is passed to B<pub> so they must not be freed after the
+call.
+
+X509_PUBKEY_get0_param() retrieves the public key parameters from B<pub>,
+B<*ppkalg> is set to the associated OID and the encoding consists of
+B<*ppklen> bytes at B<*pk>, B<*pa> is set to the associated
+AlgorithmIdentifier for the public key. If the value of any of these
+parameters is not required it can be set to B<NULL>. All of the
+retrieved pointers are internal and must not be freed after the
+call.
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+The B<X509_PUBKEY> functions can be used to encode and decode public keys
+in a standard format.
+
+In many cases applications will not call the B<X509_PUBKEY> functions
+directly: they will instead call wrapper functions such as X509_get0_pubkey().
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+If the allocation fails, X509_PUBKEY_new() returns B<NULL> and sets an error
+code that can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>.
+
+Otherwise it returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure.
+
+X509_PUBKEY_free() does not return a value.
+
+X509_PUBKEY_get0() and X509_PUBKEY_get() return a pointer to an B<EVP_PKEY>
+structure or B<NULL> if an error occurs.
+
+X509_PUBKEY_set(), X509_PUBKEY_set0_param() and X509_PUBKEY_get0_param()
+return 1 for success and 0 if an error occurred.
