                                         char *kstr, int klen,
                                         pem_password_cb *cb, void *u);

                                         char *kstr, int klen,
                                         pem_password_cb *cb, void *u);

        int i2d_PKCS8PrivateKey_nid_bio(BIO *bp, EVP_PKEY *x, int nid,
                                         char *kstr, int klen,
                                         pem_password_cb *cb, void *u);

        int i2d_PKCS8PrivateKey_nid_fp(FILE *fp, EVP_PKEY *x, int nid,
                                         char *kstr, int klen,
                                         pem_password_cb *cb, void *u);

DESCRIPTION
       The PKCS#8 functions encode and decode private keys in
       PKCS#8 format using both PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#5 v2.0
       password based encryption algorithms.

       Other than the use of DER as opposed to PEM these func-
       tions are identical to the corresponding PEM function as
       described in the pem(3) manual page.

NOTES
       Before using these functions OpenSSL_add_all_algo-
       rithms(3) should be called to initialize the internal
       algorithm lookup tables otherwise errors about unknown
       algorithms will occur if an attempt is made to decrypt a
       private key.

       These functions are currently the only way to store
       encrypted private keys using DER format.

       Currently all the functions use BIOs or FILE pointers,
       there are no functions which work directly on memory:
       this can be readily worked around by converting the
       buffers to memory BIOs, see BIO_s_mem(3) for details.
