+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The ECPKParameters encode and decode routines encode and parse the public parameters for an
+B<EC_GROUP> structure, which represents a curve.
+
+d2i_ECPKParameters() attempts to decode B<len> bytes at B<*in>. If 
+successful a pointer to the B<EC_GROUP> structure is returned. If an error
+occurred then B<NULL> is returned. If B<px> is not B<NULL> then the
+returned structure is written to B<*px>. If B<*px> is not B<NULL>
+then it is assumed that B<*px> contains a valid B<EC_GROUP>
+structure and an attempt is made to reuse it. If the call is
+successful B<*in> is incremented to the byte following the
+parsed data.
+
+i2d_ECPKParameters() encodes the structure pointed to by B<x> into DER format.
+If B<out> is not B<NULL> is writes the DER encoded data to the buffer
+at B<*out>, and increments it to point after the data just written.
+If the return value is negative an error occurred, otherwise it
+returns the length of the encoded data. 
+
+If B<*out> is B<NULL> memory will be allocated for a buffer and the encoded
+data written to it. In this case B<*out> is not incremented and it points to
+the start of the data just written.
+
+d2i_ECPKParameters_bio() is similar to d2i_ECPKParameters() except it attempts
+to parse data from BIO B<bp>.
+
+d2i_ECPKParameters_fp() is similar to d2i_ECPKParameters() except it attempts
+to parse data from FILE pointer B<fp>.
+
+i2d_ECPKParameters_bio() is similar to i2d_ECPKParameters() except it writes
+the encoding of the structure B<x> to BIO B<bp> and it
+returns 1 for success and 0 for failure.
+
+i2d_ECPKParameters_fp() is similar to i2d_ECPKParameters() except it writes
+the encoding of the structure B<x> to BIO B<bp> and it
+returns 1 for success and 0 for failure.
+
+These functions are very similar to the X509 functions described in L<d2i_X509(3)|d2i_X509(3)>,
+where further notes and examples are available.
+
+The ECPKParameters_print and ECPKParameters_print_fp functions print a human-readable output
+of the public parameters of the EC_GROUP to B<bp> or B<fp>. The output lines are indented by B<off> spaces.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+d2i_ECPKParameters(), d2i_ECPKParameters_bio() and d2i_ECPKParameters_fp() return a valid B<EC_GROUP> structure
+or B<NULL> if an error occurs.
+
+i2d_ECPKParameters() returns the number of bytes successfully encoded or a negative
+value if an error occurs.
+
+i2d_ECPKParameters_bio(), i2d_ECPKParameters_fp(), ECPKParameters_print and ECPKParameters_print_fp
+return 1 for success and 0 if an error occurs.
