=head1 DESCRIPTION
B<src> to the newly created B<EC_POINT> object.
EC_POINT_method_of() obtains the B<EC_METHOD> associated with B<point>.
+This function was deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0, since EC_METHOD is no longer a
+public concept.
A valid point on a curve is the special point at infinity. A point is set to
be at infinity by calling EC_POINT_set_to_infinity().
affine co-ordinates. A Jacobian projective co-ordinate (x, y, z) can be written
as an affine co-ordinate as (x/(z^2), y/(z^3)). Conversion to Jacobian
projective from affine co-ordinates is simple. The co-ordinate (x, y) is mapped
-to (x, y, 1). To set or get the projective co-ordinates use
+to (x, y, 1). Although deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0 and should no longer be used,
+to set or get the projective co-ordinates in older versions use
EC_POINT_set_Jprojective_coordinates_GFp() and
EC_POINT_get_Jprojective_coordinates_GFp() respectively.
+Modern versions should instead use EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates() and
+EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates(), performing the conversion manually using the
+above maps in such rare circumstances.
Points can also be described in terms of their compressed co-ordinates. For a
point (x, y), for any given value for x such that the point is on the curve
EC_POINT_bn2point(), EC_POINT_point2hex() and EC_POINT_hex2point() convert from
and to EC_POINTs for the formats: octet, BIGNUM and hexadecimal respectively.
+The function EC_POINT_point2oct() encodes the given curve point B<p> as an
+octet string into the buffer B<buf> of size B<len>, using the specified
+conversion form B<form>.
+The encoding conforms with Sec. 2.3.3 of the SECG SEC 1 ("Elliptic Curve
+Cryptography") standard.
+Similarly the function EC_POINT_oct2point() decodes a curve point into B<p> from
+the octet string contained in the given buffer B<buf> of size B<len>, conforming
+to Sec. 2.3.4 of the SECG SEC 1 ("Elliptic Curve Cryptography") standard.
+
+The functions EC_POINT_point2hex() and EC_POINT_point2bn() convert a point B<p>,
+respectively, to the hexadecimal or BIGNUM representation of the same
+encoding of the function EC_POINT_point2oct().
+Vice versa, similarly to the function EC_POINT_oct2point(), the functions
+EC_POINT_hex2point() and EC_POINT_point2bn() decode the hexadecimal or
+BIGNUM representation into the EC_POINT B<p>.
+
+Notice that, according to the standard, the octet string encoding of the point
+at infinity for a given curve is fixed to a single octet of value zero and that,
+vice versa, a single octet of size zero is decoded as the point at infinity.
+
The function EC_POINT_point2oct() must be supplied with a buffer long enough to
store the octet form. The return value provides the number of octets stored.
Calling the function with a NULL buffer will not perform the conversion but
