CSSM_CSP_CreatePassThroughContext(3)
NAME
  CSSM_CSP_CreatePassThroughContext - Create a custom cryptographic context
  (CDSA)

SYNOPSIS
  # include <cdsa/cssm.h>

       CSSM_RETURN CSSMAPI CSSM_CSP_CreatePassThroughContext
       (CSSM_CSP_HANDLE CSPHandle,
       const CSSM_KEY *Key,
       CSSM_CC_HANDLE *NewContextHandle)

LIBRARY
  Common Security Services Manager library (libcssm.so)

PARAMETERS
  CSPHandle (input)
	  The handle that describes the add-in cryptographic service provider
	  module used to perform this function. If a NULL handle is
	  specified, CSSM returns an error.

  Key (input)
	  The key to be used for the context. The caller passes a pointer to
	  a CSSM_KEY structure containing the key.

  NewContextHandle (output)
	  Cryptographic context handle.

DESCRIPTION
  This function creates a custom cryptographic context, given a handle of a
  CSP and a pointer to a custom input data structure. The cryptographic
  context handle is returned. The cryptographic context handle can be used to
  call the CSSM pass-through function for the CSP.

NOTES
  A CSP can create its own set of custom functions. The context information
  can be passed through its own data structure. The CSSM_CSP_PassThrough()
  function should be used with the function ID to call the desired custom
  function.

RETURN VALUE
  A CSSM_RETURN value indicating success or specifying a particular error
  condition. The value CSSM_OK indicates success. All other values represent
  an error condition.
