+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+With OpenSSL before version 3.0, parameters were passed down to or
+retrieved from algorithm implementations via control functions.
+Some of these control functions existed in variants that took string
+parameters, for example \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_ctrl_str\fR\|(3).
+.PP
+OpenSSL 3.0 introduces a new mechanism to do the same thing with an
+array of parameters that contain name, value, value type and value
+size (see \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) for more information).
+.PP
+\&\fBOSSL_PARAM_allocate_from_text()\fR uses \fIkey\fR to look up an item in
+\&\fIparamdefs\fR. If an item was found, it converts \fIvalue\fR to something
+suitable for that item\*(Aqs \fIdata_type\fR, and stores the result in
+\&\fIto\->data\fR as well as its size in \fIto\->data_size\fR.
+\&\fIto\->key\fR and \fIto\->data_type\fR are assigned the corresponding
+values from the item that was found, and \fIto\->return_size\fR is set
+to zero.
+.PP
+\&\fIto\->data\fR is always allocated using \fBOPENSSL_zalloc\fR\|(3) and
+needs to be freed by the caller when it\*(Aqs not useful any more, using
+\&\fBOPENSSL_free\fR\|(3).
+.PP
+If \fIfound\fR is not NULL, \fI*found\fR is set to 1 if \fIkey\fR could be
+located in \fIparamdefs\fR, and to 0 otherwise.
+.SS "The use of \fIkey\fP and \fIvalue\fP in detail"
+.IX Subsection "The use of key and value in detail"
+\&\fBOSSL_PARAM_allocate_from_text()\fR takes note if \fIkey\fR starts with
+"hex", and will only use the rest of \fIkey\fR to look up an item in
+\&\fIparamdefs\fR in that case. As an example, if \fIkey\fR is "hexid", "id"
+will be looked up in \fIparamdefs\fR.
+.PP
+When an item in \fIparamdefs\fR has been found, \fIvalue\fR is converted
+depending on that item\*(Aqs \fIdata_type\fR, as follows:
+.IP "\fBOSSL_PARAM_INTEGER\fR and \fBOSSL_PARAM_UNSIGNED_INTEGER\fR" 4
+.IX Item "OSSL_PARAM_INTEGER and OSSL_PARAM_UNSIGNED_INTEGER"
+If \fIkey\fR didn\*(Aqt start with "hex", \fIvalue\fR is assumed to contain
+\&\fIvalue_n\fR decimal characters, which are decoded, and the resulting
+bytes become the number stored in the \fIto\->data\fR storage.
+.Sp
+If \fIvalue\fR starts with "0x", it is assumed to contain \fIvalue_n\fR
+hexadecimal characters.
+.Sp
+If \fIkey\fR started with "hex", \fIvalue\fR is assumed to contain
+\&\fIvalue_n\fR hexadecimal characters without the "0x" prefix.
+.Sp
+If \fIvalue\fR contains characters that couldn\*(Aqt be decoded as
+hexadecimal or decimal characters, \fBOSSL_PARAM_allocate_from_text()\fR
+considers that an error.
+.IP \fBOSSL_PARAM_UTF8_STRING\fR 4
+.IX Item "OSSL_PARAM_UTF8_STRING"
+If \fIkey\fR started with "hex", \fBOSSL_PARAM_allocate_from_text()\fR
+considers that an error.
+.Sp
+Otherwise, \fIvalue\fR is considered a C string and is copied to the
+\&\fIto\->data\fR storage.
+On systems where the native character encoding is EBCDIC, the bytes in
+\&\fIto\->data\fR are converted to ASCII.
+.IP \fBOSSL_PARAM_OCTET_STRING\fR 4
+.IX Item "OSSL_PARAM_OCTET_STRING"
+If \fIkey\fR started with "hex", \fIvalue\fR is assumed to contain
+\&\fIvalue_n\fR hexadecimal characters, which are decoded, and the
+resulting bytes are stored in the \fIto\->data\fR storage.
+If \fIvalue\fR contains characters that couldn\*(Aqt be decoded as
+hexadecimal or decimal characters, \fBOSSL_PARAM_allocate_from_text()\fR
+considers that an error.
+.Sp
+If \fIkey\fR didn\*(Aqt start with "hex", \fIvalue_n\fR bytes from \fIvalue\fR are
+copied to the \fIto\->data\fR storage.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
+\&\fBOSSL_PARAM_allocate_from_text()\fR returns 1 if \fIkey\fR was found in
+\&\fIparamdefs\fR and there was no other failure, otherwise 0.
+.SH NOTES
+.IX Header "NOTES"
+The parameter descriptor array comes from functions dedicated to
+return them.
+The following \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) attributes are used:
+.IP \fIkey\fR 4
+.IX Item "key"
+.PD 0
+.IP \fIdata_type\fR 4
+.IX Item "data_type"
+.IP \fIdata_size\fR 4
+.IX Item "data_size"
+.PD
+.PP
+All other attributes are ignored.
+.PP
+The \fIdata_size\fR attribute can be zero, meaning that the parameter it
+describes expects arbitrary length data.
