15
16PKCS12_init() creates an empty PKCS#12 structure. Any PKCS#7 authSafes added
17to this structure are enclosed first within a single PKCS#7 contentInfo
18of type I<mode>. Currently the only supported type is B<NID_pkcs7_data>.
19
20PKCS12_init_ex() creates an empty PKCS#12 structure and assigns the supplied
21I<ctx> and I<propq> to be used to select algorithm implementations for
22operations performed on the B<PKCS12> object.
