lib/libcrypto/man: X509_ALGOR_dup.3
Log message:
Clarify documentation of X509_ALGOR_{set0,set_md}()
The X509_ALGOR_set0() and X509_ALGOR_set_md() documentation comes from
upstream, which means it is as sloppy as the code and as vague as your
average upstream manpage. Be precise on what X509_ALGOR_set0() does on
different inputs and document return values and failure modes.
X509_ALGOR_set_md() is a void function that calls X509_ALGOR_set0() in a
way that can fail, leaving alg in a corrupted state. Document when that
can occur and how to avoid or detect that, but do not go too far, because
EVP_MD_meth_new(), one potential source of failures, is a whole another
can of worms.
