# class OpenSSL::Engine

This class is the access to openssl's ENGINE cryptographic module implementation.

### Public Class Methods

OpenSSL::Engine.by_id(name) → engine click to toggle source

Fetches the engine as specified by the id `String`.

    OpenSSL::Engine.by_id("openssl")
     => #<OpenSSL::Engine id="openssl" name="Software engine support">

See `OpenSSL::Engine.engines` for the currently loaded engines.

    static VALUE
    ossl_engine_s_by_id(VALUE klass, VALUE id)
    {
        ENGINE *e;
        VALUE obj;

        StringValueCStr(id);
        ossl_engine_s_load(1, &id, klass);
        obj = NewEngine(klass);
        if(!(e = ENGINE_by_id(RSTRING_PTR(id))))
            ossl_raise(eEngineError, NULL);
        SetEngine(obj, e);
        if(rb_block_given_p()) rb_yield(obj);
        if(!ENGINE_init(e))
            ossl_raise(eEngineError, NULL);
        ENGINE_ctrl(e, ENGINE_CTRL_SET_PASSWORD_CALLBACK,
                    0, NULL, (void(*)(void))ossl_pem_passwd_cb);
        ossl_clear_error();

        return obj;
    }

OpenSSL::Engine.cleanup click to toggle source

It is only necessary to run cleanup when engines are loaded via `OpenSSL::Engine.load`. However, running cleanup before exit is recommended.

Note that this is needed and works only in `OpenSSL` < 1.1.0.

    static VALUE
    ossl_engine_s_cleanup(VALUE self)
    {
    #if defined(LIBRESSL_VERSION_NUMBER) || OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER < 0x10100000
        ENGINE_cleanup();
    #endif
        return Qnil;
    }

OpenSSL::Engine.engines → [engine, ...] click to toggle source

Returns an array of currently loaded engines.

    static VALUE
    ossl_engine_s_engines(VALUE klass)
    {
        ENGINE *e;
        VALUE ary, obj;

        ary = rb_ary_new();
        for(e = ENGINE_get_first(); e; e = ENGINE_get_next(e)){
            obj = NewEngine(klass);
            /* Need a ref count of two here because of ENGINE_free being
             * called internally by OpenSSL when moving to the next ENGINE
             * and by us when releasing the ENGINE reference */
            ENGINE_up_ref(e);
            SetEngine(obj, e);
            rb_ary_push(ary, obj);
        }

        return ary;
    }

OpenSSL::Engine.load(name = nil) click to toggle source

This method loads engines. If name is nil, then all builtin engines are loaded. Otherwise, the given name, as a `String`, is loaded if available to your runtime, and returns true. If name is not found, then nil is returned.

    static VALUE
    ossl_engine_s_load(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE klass)
    {

            return Qtrue;

    }
