+=head1 NAME
+
+EVP_OpenInit, EVP_OpenUpdate, EVP_OpenFinal - EVP envelope decryption
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <openssl/evp.h>
+
+ int EVP_OpenInit(EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx,EVP_CIPHER *type,unsigned char *ek,
+		int ekl,unsigned char *iv,EVP_PKEY *priv);
+ void EVP_OpenUpdate(EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx, unsigned char *out,
+         int *outl, unsigned char *in, int inl);
+ void EVP_OpenFinal(EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx, unsigned char *out,
+         int *outl);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The EVP envelope routines are a high level interface to envelope
+decryption. They decrypt a public key encrypted symmetric key and
+then decrypt data using it.
+
+EVP_OpenInit() initialises a cipher context B<ctx> for decryption
+with cipher B<type>. It decrypts the encrypted symmetric key of length
+B<ekl> bytes passed in the B<ek> parameter using the private key B<priv>.
+The IV is supplied in the B<iv> parameter.
+
+EVP_OpenUpdate() and EVP_OpenFinal() have exactly the same properties
+as the EVP_DecryptUpdate() and EVP_DecryptFinal() routines, as 
+documented on the L<EVP_EncryptInit(3)|EVP_EncryptInit(3)> manual
+page. 
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+EVP_OpenInit() returns -1 on error or an non zero integer (actually the
+recovered secret key size) if successful.
+
+EVP_SealUpdate() does not return a value.
+
+EVP_SealFinal() returns 0 if the decrypt failed or 1 for success.
