.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_CTX_init
is a deprecated function to clear a cipher context on the stack
before use.
Do not use it on a cipher context returned from
.Xr EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new 3
or one that was already used.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup
is a deprecated alias for
.Xr EVP_CIPHER_CTX_reset 3 .
It clears all information from
.Fa ctx
and frees all allocated memory associated with it, except the
.Fa ctx
object itself.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_Cipher
encrypts or decrypts aligned blocks of data
whose lengths match the cipher block size.
It requires that the previous encryption or decryption operation
using the same
.Fa ctx ,
if there was any, ended exactly on a block boundary and that
.Fa inl
is an integer multiple of the cipher block size.
If either of these conditions is violated,
.Fn EVP_Cipher
silently produces incorrect results.
For that reason, using the function
.Xr EVP_CipherUpdate 3
instead is strongly recommended.
The latter can safely handle partial blocks, and even if
.Fa inl
actually is a multiple of the cipher block size for all calls,
the overhead incurred by using
.Xr EVP_CipherUpdate 3
is minimal.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Fn EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup
and
.Fn EVP_Cipher
return 1 for success or 0 for failure.
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr evp 3 ,
.Xr EVP_EncryptInit 3
