=head1 NAME
EVP_PKEY_get_default_digest_nid - get default signature digest
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/evp.h>
int EVP_PKEY_get_default_digest_nid(EVP_PKEY *pkey, int *pnid);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The EVP_PKEY_get_default_digest_nid() function sets B<pnid> to the default
message digest NID for the public key signature operations associated with key
B<pkey>. Note that some signature algorithms (i.e. Ed25519 and Ed448) do not use
a digest during signing. In this case B<pnid> will be set to NID_undef.
=head1 NOTES
For all current standard OpenSSL public key algorithms SHA1 is returned.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
The EVP_PKEY_get_default_digest_nid() function returns 1 if the message digest
is advisory (that is other digests can be used) and 2 if it is mandatory (other
digests can not be used). It returns 0 or a negative value for failure. In
particular a return value of -2 indicates the operation is not supported by the
public key algorithm.
