.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The Blowfish encryption algorithm for EVP.
.PP
This is a variable key length cipher.
.IP "\fBEVP_bf_cbc()\fR, \fBEVP_bf_cfb()\fR, \fBEVP_bf_cfb64()\fR, \fBEVP_bf_ecb()\fR, \fBEVP_bf_ofb()\fR" 4
.IX Item "EVP_bf_cbc(), EVP_bf_cfb(), EVP_bf_cfb64(), EVP_bf_ecb(), EVP_bf_ofb()"
Blowfish encryption algorithm in CBC, CFB, ECB and OFB modes respectively.
.SH NOTES
.IX Header "NOTES"
Developers should be aware of the negative performance implications of
calling these functions multiple times and should consider using
\&\fBEVP_CIPHER_fetch\fR\|(3) with \fBEVP_CIPHER\-BLOWFISH\fR\|(7) instead.
See "Performance" in \fBcrypto\fR\|(7) for further information.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
These functions return an \fBEVP_CIPHER\fR structure that contains the
implementation of the symmetric cipher. See \fBEVP_CIPHER_meth_new\fR\|(3) for
details of the \fBEVP_CIPHER\fR structure.
