<p>OSSL_STORE_expect, OSSL_STORE_supports_search, OSSL_STORE_find - Specify what object type is expected</p>

<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>

<pre><code>#include &lt;openssl/store.h&gt;

int OSSL_STORE_expect(OSSL_STORE_CTX *ctx, int expected_type);

int OSSL_STORE_supports_search(OSSL_STORE_CTX *ctx, int criterion_type);

int OSSL_STORE_find(OSSL_STORE_CTX *ctx, OSSL_STORE_SEARCH *search);</code></pre>

<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

<p>OSSL_STORE_expect() helps applications filter what OSSL_STORE_load() returns by specifying a <b>OSSL_STORE_INFO</b> type. By default, no expectations on the types of objects to be loaded are made. <i>expected_type</i> may be 0 to indicate explicitly that no expectation is made, or it may be any of the known object types (see <a href="../man3/OSSL_STORE_INFO.html">&quot;SUPPORTED OBJECTS&quot; in OSSL_STORE_INFO(3)</a>) except for <b>OSSL_STORE_INFO_NAME</b>. For example, if <code>file:/foo/bar/store.pem</code> contains several objects of different type and only certificates are interesting, the application can simply say that it expects the type <b>OSSL_STORE_INFO_CERT</b>.</p>

<p>OSSL_STORE_find() helps applications specify a criterion for a more fine grained search of objects.</p>

<p>OSSL_STORE_supports_search() checks if the loader of the given OSSL_STORE context supports the given search type. See <a href="../man3/OSSL_STORE_SEARCH.html">&quot;SUPPORTED CRITERION TYPES&quot; in OSSL_STORE_SEARCH(3)</a> for information on the supported search criterion types.</p>

<p>OSSL_STORE_expect() and OSSL_STORE_find <i>must</i> be called before the first OSSL_STORE_load() of a given session, or they will fail.</p>

<h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1>

<p>If a more elaborate filter is required by the application, a better choice would be to use a post-processing function. See <a href="../man3/OSSL_STORE_open.html">OSSL_STORE_open(3)</a> for more information.</p>

<p>However, some loaders may take advantage of the knowledge of an expected type to make object retrieval more efficient, so if a single type is expected, this method is usually preferable.</p>

<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>

<p>OSSL_STORE_expect() returns 1 on success, or 0 on failure.</p>

<p>OSSL_STORE_supports_search() returns 1 if the criterion is supported, or 0 otherwise.</p>

<p>OSSL_STORE_find() returns 1 on success, or 0 on failure.</p>
