+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_fetch() fetches the implementation for the given
+B<algorithm> from any provider offering it, within the criteria given
+by the B<properties> and in the scope of the given library context B<ctx> (see
+L<OPENSSL_CTX(3)>). The algorithm will be one offering functions for performing
+asymmetric cipher related tasks such as asymmetric encryption and decryption.
+See L<provider(7)/Fetching algorithms> for further information.
+
+The returned value must eventually be freed with EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_free().
+
+EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_free() decrements the reference count for the B<EVP_ASYM_CIPHER>
+structure. Typically this structure will have been obtained from an earlier call
+to EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_fetch(). If the reference count drops to 0 then the
+structure is freed.
+
+EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_up_ref() increments the reference count for an
+B<EVP_ASYM_CIPHER> structure.
+
+EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_is_a() returns 1 if I<cipher> is an implementation of an
+algorithm that's identifiable with I<name>, otherwise 0.
+
+EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_provider() returns the provider that I<cipher> was fetched from.
+
+EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_do_all_provided() traverses all EVP_ASYM_CIPHERs implemented by
+all activated providers in the given library context I<libctx>, and for each of
+the implementations, calls the given function I<fn> with the implementation
+method and the given I<arg> as argument.
+
+EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_number() returns the internal dynamic number assigned to
+I<cipher>.
+
+EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_names_do_all() traverses all names for I<cipher>, and calls
+I<fn> with each name and I<data>.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_fetch() returns a pointer to an B<EVP_ASYM_CIPHER> for success
+or B<NULL> for failure.
+
+EVP_ASYM_CIPHER_up_ref() returns 1 for success or 0 otherwise.
