        int EVPPKEYassignRSA(EVPPKEY *pkey,RSA *key);
        int EVPPKEYassignDSA(EVPPKEY *pkey,DSA *key);
        int EVPPKEYassignDH(EVPPKEY *pkey,DH *key);

DESCRIPTION
       EVPPKEYset1RSA(), EVPPKEYset1DSA(), EVPPKEYset1DH() and
       EVPPKEYset1ECKEY() set the key referenced by ppkkeeyy to kkeeyy.

       EVPPKEYget1RSA(), EVPPKEYget1DSA(), EVPPKEYget1DH() and
       EVPPKEYget1ECKEY() return the referenced key in ppkkeeyy or NNUULLLL if the
       key is not of the correct type.

       EVPPKEYassignRSA() EVPPKEYassignDSA(), EVPPKEYassignDH() and
       EVPPKEYassignECKEY() also set the referenced key to kkeeyy however
       these use the supplied kkeeyy internally and so kkeeyy will be freed when the
       parent ppkkeeyy is freed.

       EVPPKEYtype() returns the type of key corresponding to the value
       ttyyppee. The type of a key can be obtained with EVPPKEYtype(pkey->type).
       The return value will be EVPPKEYRSA, EVPPKEYDSA, EVPPKEYDH or
       EVPPKEYEC for the corresponding key types or NIDundef if the key
       type is unassigned.

NNOOTTEESS
       In accordance with the OpenSSL naming convention the key obtained from
       or assigned to the ppkkeeyy using the 11 functions must be freed as well as
       ppkkeeyy.

       EVPPKEYassignRSA() EVPPKEYassignDSA(), EVPPKEYassignDH()
       EVPPKEYassignECKEY() are implemented as macros.

RETURN VALUES
       EVPPKEYset1RSA(), EVPPKEYset1DSA(), EVPPKEYset1DH() and
       EVPPKEYset1ECKEY() return 1 for success or 0 for failure.

       EVPPKEYget1RSA(), EVPPKEYget1DSA(), EVPPKEYget1DH() and
       EVPPKEYget1ECKEY() return the referenced key or NNUULLLL if an error
       occurred.

       EVPPKEYassignRSA() EVPPKEYassignDSA(), EVPPKEYassignDH() and
       EVPPKEYassignECKEY() return 1 for success and 0 for failure.
