11=head1 DESCRIPTION
12
13The F<< <openssl/core_names.h> >> header defines a multitude of macros
14for L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> names, algorithm names and other known names used
15with OpenSSL's providers, made available for practical purposes only.
16
17Existing names are further described in the manuals for OpenSSL's
18providers (see L</SEE ALSO>) and the manuals for each algorithm they
19provide (listed in those provider manuals).

30=head1 CAVEATS
31
32I<This header file does not constitute a general registry of names>.
33Providers that implement new algorithms are to be responsible for
34their own parameter names.
35
36However, authors of provider that implement their own variants of
37algorithms that OpenSSL providers support will want to pay attention
38to the names provided in this header to work in a compatible manner.
