<h1 id="NAME">NAME</h1>

<p>EC_KEY_get_enc_flags, EC_KEY_set_enc_flags - Get and set flags for encoding EC_KEY structures</p>

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

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

unsigned int EC_KEY_get_enc_flags(const EC_KEY *key);
void EC_KEY_set_enc_flags(EC_KEY *eckey, unsigned int flags);</code></pre>

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

<p>The format of the external representation of the public key written by i2d_ECPrivateKey() (such as whether it is stored in a compressed form or not) is described by the point_conversion_form. See <a href="../man3/EC_GROUP_copy.html">EC_GROUP_copy(3)</a> for a description of point_conversion_form.</p>

<p>When reading a private key encoded without an associated public key (e.g. if EC_PKEY_NO_PUBKEY has been used - see below), then d2i_ECPrivateKey() generates the missing public key automatically. Private keys encoded without parameters (e.g. if EC_PKEY_NO_PARAMETERS has been used - see below) cannot be loaded using d2i_ECPrivateKey().</p>

<p>The functions EC_KEY_get_enc_flags() and EC_KEY_set_enc_flags() get and set the value of the encoding flags for the <b>key</b>. There are two encoding flags currently defined - EC_PKEY_NO_PARAMETERS and EC_PKEY_NO_PUBKEY. These flags define the behaviour of how the <b>key</b> is converted into ASN1 in a call to i2d_ECPrivateKey(). If EC_PKEY_NO_PARAMETERS is set then the public parameters for the curve are not encoded along with the private key. If EC_PKEY_NO_PUBKEY is set then the public key is not encoded along with the private key.</p>

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

<p>EC_KEY_get_enc_flags() returns the value of the current encoding flags for the EC_KEY.</p>
