+EVP_SKEY_import, EVP_SKEY_export
+- functions to create opaque symmetric keys from user data and export keydata

+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <openssl/evp.h>
+
+ int EVP_SKEY_import(EVP_SKEY *skey, const OSSL_PARAM *params);
+ int EVP_SKEY_export(const EVP_SKEY *skey, int selection,

+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The functions described here are used to create new keys from user
+provided key data, such as I<n>, I<e> and I<d> for a minimal RSA
+keypair.
+
+EVP_SKEY_import() creates the structure to store a key to a B<EVP_SKEY> object
+created by EVP_SKEY_new() The exact key data that the user can pass depends on
+the key type and the provider in use.  These are passed as an L<OSSL_PARAM(3)>
+array.
+
+Parameters in the I<params> array that are not among the settable parameters
+for the given I<selection> are ignored.
+
+EVP_SKEY_export() extracts values from a key I<skey> using the I<selection>.
+I<selection> is described below. It uses a callback
+I<export_cb> that gets passed the value of I<export_cbarg>.
+See L<openssl-core.h(7)> for more information about the callback. Note that the
+L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> array that is passed to the callback is not persistent after the
+callback returns.
+
+L<OSSL_PARAM_free(3)> should be used to free the returned parameters in
+I<*params>.
+

+=head1 NAME
+
+EVP_SKEY_new,
+EVP_SKEY_up_ref,
+EVP_SKEY_free
+- opaque symmetric key allocation and handling functions
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <openssl/evp.h>
+
+ typedef evp_skey_st EVP_SKEY;
+
+ EVP_SKEY *EVP_SKEY_new(void);
+ int EVP_SKEY_up_ref(EVP_SKEY *key);
+ void EVP_SKEY_free(EVP_SKEY *key);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+B<EVP_SKEY> is a generic structure to hold symmetric keys as opaque objects.
+The keys themselves are often referred to as the "internal key", and are handled by
+providers through L<EVP_KEYMGMT(3)>.
+
+Conceptually, an B<EVP_SKEY> internal key may hold a symmetric key, and along
+with those, key parameters if the key type requires them.
+
+The EVP_SKEY_new() function allocates an empty B<EVP_SKEY> structure which is
+used by OpenSSL to store public and private keys. The reference count is set to
+B<1>.
+
+EVP_SKEY_up_ref() increments the reference count of I<key>.
+
+EVP_SKEY_free() decrements the reference count of I<key> and, if the reference
+count is zero, frees it up. If I<key> is NULL, nothing is done.
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+The B<EVP_SKEY> structure is used by various OpenSSL functions which require a
+general symmetric key without reference to any particular algorithm.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+EVP_SKEY_new() returns either the newly
+allocated B<EVP_SKEY> structure or NULL if an error occurred.
+
+EVP_SKEY_up_ref() returns 1 for success and 0 for failure.
+
+=head1 HISTORY
+
+The B<EVP_SKEY> API was introduced in OpenSSL 3.5.
