+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The B<EVP_CIPHER> type is a structure for symmetric cipher method
+implementation.
+
+EVP_CIPHER_meth_new() creates a new B<EVP_CIPHER> structure.
+
+EVP_CIPHER_meth_dup() creates a copy of B<cipher>.
+
+EVP_CIPHER_meth_free() destroys a B<EVP_CIPHER> structure.
+
+EVP_CIPHER_meth_iv_length() sets the length of the IV.
+This is only needed when the implemented cipher mode requires it.
+
+EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_flags() sets the flags to describe optional
+behaviours in the particular B<cipher>.
+With the exception of cipher modes, of which only one may be present,
+several flags can be or'd together.
+The available flags are:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item EVP_CIPH_STREAM_CIPHER, EVP_CIPH_ECB_MODE EVP_CIPH_CBC_MODE,
+EVP_CIPH_CFB_MODE, EVP_CIPH_OFB_MODE, EVP_CIPH_CTR_MODE, EVP_CIPH_GCM_MODE,
+EVP_CIPH_CCM_MODE, EVP_CIPH_XTS_MODE, EVP_CIPH_WRAP_MODE,
+EVP_CIPH_OCB_MODE
+
+The cipher mode.
+
+=item EVP_CIPH_VARIABLE_LENGTH
+
+This cipher is of variable length.
+
+=item EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV
+
+Storing and initialising the IV is left entirely to the
+implementation.
+
+=item EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
+
+Set this if the implementation's init() function should be called even
+if B<key> is B<NULL>.
+
+=item EVP_CIPH_CTRL_INIT
+
+Set this to have the implementation's ctrl() function called with
+command code B<EVP_CTRL_INIT> early in its setup.
+
+=item EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_KEY_LENGTH
+
+Checking and setting the key length after creating the B<EVP_CIPHER>
+is left to the implementation.
+Whenever someone uses EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() on a
+B<EVP_CIPHER> with this flag set, the implementation's ctrl() function
+will be called with the control code B<EVP_CTRL_SET_KEY_LENGTH> and
+the key length in B<arg>.
+
+=item EVP_CIPH_NO_PADDING
+
+Don't use standard block padding.
+
+=item EVP_CIPH_RAND_KEY
+
+Making a key with random content is left to the implementation.
+This is done by calling the implementation's ctrl() function with the
+control code B<EVP_CTRL_RAND_KEY> and the pointer to the key memory
+storage in B<ptr>.
+
+=item EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_COPY
+
+Set this to have the implementation's ctrl() function called with
+command code B<EVP_CTRL_COPY> at the end of EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy().
+The intended use is for further things to deal with after the
+implementation specific data block has been copied.
+The destination B<EVP_CIPHER_CTX> is passed to the control with the
+B<ptr> parameter.
+The implementation specific data block is reached with
+EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_cipher_data().
+
+=item EVP_CIPH_FLAG_DEFAULT_ASN1
+
+Use the default EVP routines to pass IV to and from ASN.1.
+
+=item EVP_CIPH_FLAG_LENGTH_BITS
+
+Signals that the length of the input buffer for encryption /
+decryption is to be understood as the number of bits bits instead of
+bytes for this implementation.
+This is only useful for CFB1 ciphers.
+
+=begin comment
+The FIPS flags seem to be unused, so I'm hiding them until I get an
+explanation or they get removed. /RL
+
+=item EVP_CIPH_FLAG_FIPS
+
+=item EVP_CIPH_FLAG_NON_FIPS_ALLOW
+
+=end comment
+
+=item EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER
+
+This indicates that the implementation takes care of everything,
+including padding, buffering and finalization.
+The EVP routines will simply give them control and do nothing more.
+
+=item EVP_CIPH_FLAG_AEAD_CIPHER
+
+This indicates that this is an AEAD cipher implementation.
+
+=item EVP_CIPH_FLAG_TLS1_1_MULTIBLOCK
+
+Allow interleaving of crypto blocks, a particular optimization only applicable
+to certain TLS ciphers.
+
+=back
+
+EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_impl_ctx_size() sets the size of the EVP_CIPHER's
+implementation context so that it can be automatically allocated.
+
+EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_init() sets the cipher init function for
+B<cipher>.
+The cipher init function is called by EVP_CipherInit(),
+EVP_CipherInit_ex(), EVP_EncryptInit(), EVP_EncryptInit_ex(),
+EVP_DecryptInit(), EVP_DecryptInit_ex().
+
+EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_do_cipher() sets the cipher function for
+B<cipher>.
+The cipher function is called by EVP_CipherUpdate(),
+EVP_EncryptUpdate(), EVP_DecryptUpdate(), EVP_CipherFinal(),
+EVP_EncryptFinal(), EVP_EncryptFinal_ex(), EVP_DecryptFinal() and
+EVP_DecryptFinal_ex().
+
+EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_cleanup() sets the function for B<cipher> to do
+extra cleanup before the method's private data structure is cleaned
+out and freed.
+Note that the cleanup function is passed a B<EVP_CIPHER_CTX *>, the
+private data structure is then available with
+EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_cipher_data().
+This cleanup function is called by EVP_CIPHER_CTX_reset() and
+EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free().
+
+EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_set_asn1_params() sets the function for B<cipher>
+to set the AlgorithmIdentifier "parameter" based on the passed cipher.
+This function is called by EVP_CIPHER_param_to_asn1().
+EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_get_asn1_params() sets the function for B<cipher>
+that sets the cipher parameters based on an ASN.1 AlgorithmIdentifier
+"parameter".
+Both these functions are needed when there is a need for custom data
+(more or other than the cipher IV).
+They are called by EVP_CIPHER_param_to_asn1() and
+EVP_CIPHER_asn1_to_param() respectively if defined.
+
+EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_ctrl() sets the control function for B<cipher>.
+
+EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_init(), EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_do_cipher(),
+EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_set_asn1_params(),
+EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_get_asn1_params() and EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_ctrl()
+are all used to retrieve the method data given with the
+EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_*() functions above.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+EVP_CIPHER_meth_new() and EVP_CIPHER_meth_dup() return a pointer to a
+newly created B<EVP_CIPHER>, or NULL on failure.
+All EVP_CIPHER_meth_set_*() functions return 1.
+All EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_*() functions return pointers to their
+respective B<cipher> function.
