+PEM is the term used for binary content encoding first defined in IETF
+RFC 1421. The content is a series of base64-encoded lines, surrounded
+by begin/end markers each on their own line. For example:
+
+ -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
+ MIICdg....
+ ... bhTQ==
+ -----END PRIVATE KEY-----
+
+Optional header line(s) may appear after the begin line, and their
+existence depends on the type of object being written or read.
+
+PEM_write() writes to the file B<fp>, while PEM_write_bio() writes to
+the BIO B<bp>. The B<name> is the name to use in the marker, the
+B<header> is the header value or NULL, and B<data> and B<len> specify
+the data and its length.
+
+The final B<data> buffer is typically an ASN.1 object which can be decoded with
+the B<d2i> function appropriate to the type B<name>; see L<d2i_X509(3)>
+for examples.
+
+PEM_read() reads from the file B<fp>, while PEM_read_bio() reads

+ #include <openssl/pem.h>

+
+ TYPE *PEM_read_TYPE(FILE *fp, TYPE **a, pem_password_cb *cb, void *u);
+ TYPE *PEM_read_bio_TYPE(BIO *bp, TYPE **a, pem_password_cb *cb, void *u);

+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+In the description below, I<TYPE> is used
+as a placeholder for any of the OpenSSL datatypes, such as I<X509>.
+
+These routines convert between local instances of ASN1 datatypes and
+the PEM encoding. For more information on the templates, see
+L<ASN1_ITEM(3)>. For more information on the lower-level routines used
+by the functions here, see L<PEM_read(3)>.
+
+PEM_read_TYPE() reads a PEM-encoded object of I<TYPE> from the file B<fp>
+and returns it. The B<cb> and B<u> parameters are as described in
+L<pem_password_cb(3)>.
+
+PEM_read_bio_TYPE() is similar to PEM_read_TYPE() but reads from the BIO B<bp>.
+
+PEM_write_TYPE() writes the PEM encoding of the object B<a> to the file B<fp>.
+
+PEM_write_bio_TYPE() similarly writes to the BIO B<bp>.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+PEM_read_TYPE() and PEM_read_bio_TYPE() return a pointer to an allocated
+object, which should be released by calling TYPE_free(), or NULL on error.
+
+PEM_write_TYPE() and PEM_write_bio_TYPE() return the number of bytes written
+or zero on error.

+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+In the description below, I<TYPE> is used
+as a placeholder for any of the OpenSSL datatypes, such as I<X509>.
+
+The OpenSSL ASN1 parsing library templates are like a data-driven bytecode
+interpreter.
+Every ASN1 object as a global variable, TYPE_it, that describes the item
+such as its fields. (On systems which cannot export variables from shared
+libraries, the global is instead a function which returns a pointer to a
+static variable.
+
+The macro DECLARE_ASN1_FUNCTIONS() is typically used in header files
+to generate the function declarations.
+
+The macro IMPLEMENT_ASN1_FUNCTIONS() is used once in a source file
+to generate the function bodies.
+
+
+TYPE_new() allocates an empty object of the indicated type.
+The object returned must be released by calling TYPE_free().
+
+TYPE_dup() copies an existing object.
+
+TYPE_free() releases the object and all pointers and sub-objects
+within it.
+
+TYPE_print_ctx() prints the object B<a> on the specified BIO B<out>.
+Each line will be prefixed with B<indent> spaces.
+The B<pctx> specifies the printing context and is for internal
+use; use NULL to get the default behavior. If a print function is
+user-defined, then pass in any B<pctx> down to any nested calls.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+TYPE_new() and TYPE_dup() return a pointer to the object or NULL on failure.
+
+TYPE_print_ctx() returns 1 on success or zero on failure.
