     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 functions
          are identical to the corresponding PEM function as described
          in the pem(3) manual page.

     NOTES
          Before using these functions OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms(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.
