DESCRIPTION
       These functions are used by PKCS12.

       EVP_PKEY_get_attr_by_OBJ() finds the location of the first matching
       object obj in the key attribute list. The search starts at the position
       after lastpos.  If the returned value is positive then it can be used
       on the next call to EVP_PKEY_get_attr_by_OBJ() as the value of lastpos
       in order to iterate through the remaining attributes. lastpos can be
       set to any negative value on the first call, in order to start
       searching from the start of the attribute list.

       EVP_PKEY_get_attr_by_NID() is similar to EVP_PKEY_get_attr_by_OBJ()
       except that it passes the numerical identifier (NID) nid associated
       with the object.  See <openssl/obj_mac.h> for a list of NID_*.

       EVP_PKEY_get_attr() returns the X509_ATTRIBUTE object at index loc in
       the key attribute list. loc should be in the range from 0 to
       EVP_PKEY_get_attr_count() - 1.

       EVP_PKEY_delete_attr() removes the X509_ATTRIBUTE object at index loc
       in the key attribute list.

       EVP_PKEY_add1_attr() pushes a copy of the passed in X509_ATTRIBUTE
       object to the key attribute list. A new key attribute list is created
       if required.  An error occurs if either attr is NULL, or the attribute
       already exists.

       EVP_PKEY_add1_attr_by_OBJ() creates a new X509_ATTRIBUTE using
       X509_ATTRIBUTE_set1_object() and X509_ATTRIBUTE_set1_data() to assign a
       new obj with type type and data bytes of length len and then pushes it
       to the key object's attribute list. If obj already exists in the
       attribute list then an error occurs.

       EVP_PKEY_add1_attr_by_NID() is similar to EVP_PKEY_add1_attr_by_OBJ()
       except that it passes the numerical identifier (NID) nid associated
       with the object.  See <openssl/obj_mac.h> for a list of NID_*.

       EVP_PKEY_add1_attr_by_txt() is similar to EVP_PKEY_add1_attr_by_OBJ()
       except that it passes a name attrname associated with the object.  See
       <openssl/obj_mac.h> for a list of SN_* names.

RETURN VALUES
       EVP_PKEY_get_attr_count() returns the number of attributes in the key
       object attribute list or -1 if the attribute list is NULL.

       EVP_PKEY_get_attr_by_OBJ() returns -1 if either the list is empty OR
       the object is not found, otherwise it returns the location of the
       object in the list.

       EVP_PKEY_get_attr_by_NID() is similar to EVP_PKEY_get_attr_by_OBJ(),
       except that it returns -2 if the nid is not known by OpenSSL.

       EVP_PKEY_get_attr() returns either a X509_ATTRIBUTE or NULL if there is
       a error.

       EVP_PKEY_delete_attr() returns either the removed X509_ATTRIBUTE or
       NULL if there is a error.

       EVP_PKEY_add1_attr(), EVP_PKEY_add1_attr_by_OBJ(),
       EVP_PKEY_add1_attr_by_NID() and EVP_PKEY_add1_attr_by_txt() return 1 on
       success or 0 otherwise.

NOTES
       A EVP_PKEY object's attribute list is initially NULL. All the above
       functions listed will return an error unless EVP_PKEY_add1_attr() is
       called.  All functions listed assume that the key is not NULL.
