.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_from_data()\fR runs the decoding process for the context \fIctx\fR,
with input coming from \fI*pdata\fR, \fI*pdata_len\fR bytes long.  Both \fI*pdata\fR
and \fI*pdata_len\fR must be non-NULL.  When \fBOSSL_DECODER_from_data()\fR returns,
\&\fI*pdata\fR is updated to point at the location after what has been decoded,
and \fI*pdata_len\fR to have the number of remaining bytes.
.PP
\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_from_bio()\fR runs the decoding process for the context \fIctx\fR,
with the input coming from the \fBBIO\fR \fIin\fR.  Should it make a difference,
it's recommended to have the BIO set in binary mode rather than text mode.
.PP
\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_from_fp()\fR does the same thing as \fBOSSL_DECODER_from_bio()\fR,
except that the input is coming from the \fBFILE\fR \fIfp\fR.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBOSSL_DECODER_from_bio()\fR, \fBOSSL_DECODER_from_data()\fR and \fBOSSL_DECODER_from_fp()\fR
return 1 on success, or 0 on failure.
.SH EXAMPLES
.IX Header "EXAMPLES"
To decode an RSA key encoded with PEM from a bio:
.PP
.Vb 6
\& OSSL_DECODER_CTX *dctx;
\& EVP_PKEY *pkey = NULL;
\& const char *format = "PEM";   /* NULL for any format */
\& const char *structure = NULL; /* any structure */

.PP
To decode an EC key encoded with DER from a buffer:
.PP
.Vb 8

\& const unsigned char *pass = NULL
\& const unsigned char *data = buffer;
\& size_t datalen = sizeof(buffer);
\&
\& dctx = OSSL_DECODER_CTX_new_for_pkey(&pkey, format, structure,
\&                                      keytype,

\&     /* error: no suitable potential decoders found */
\& }
\& if (pass != NULL)
\&     OSSL_DECODER_CTX_set_passphrase(dctx, pass, strlen(pass));
\& if (OSSL_DECODER_from_data(dctx, &data, &datalen)) {
\&     /* pkey is created with the decoded data from the buffer */
