/* Engines are collections of methods. Methods are tables of function pointers,
 * defined for certain algorithms, that allow operations on those algorithms to
 * be overridden via a callback. This can be used, for example, to implement an
 * RSA* that forwards operations to a hardware module.
 *
 * Methods are reference counted but |ENGINE|s are not. When creating a method,
 * you should zero the whole structure and fill in the function pointers that
 * you wish before setting it on an |ENGINE|. Any functions pointers that
 * are NULL indicate that the default behaviour should be used. */

 *
 * Method accessors take a method pointer and the size of the structure. The
 * size allows for ABI compatibility in the case that the method structure is
 * extended with extra elements at the end. Methods are always copied by the

 *
 * Set functions return one on success and zero on allocation failure. */
