I did that before playing with and modifying the OP's code. Obviously, either
I'm too dense to understand it, or it's too dense.

See above. Some verbiage, very little clues - especially for somebody who
doesn't already know how it works.
int EVP_PKEY_get_int_param(const EVP_PKEY *pkey, const char *key_name,
int *out);
EVP_PKEY_get_int_param() retrieves a key pkey integer value *out associated
with a name of key_name.
Overall, VERY confusing.
How does one know (without going through EVP_PKEY_gettable_params(EVP_PKEY
*pkey) and EVP_PKEY_get_params(const EVP_PKEY *pkey, OSSL_PARAM params[])) what
method to use to retrieve what parameter?
