+=head1 NAME
+
+EC_KEY_get_enc_flags, EC_KEY_set_enc_flags
+- Get and set flags for encoding EC_KEY structures
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <openssl/ec.h>
+
+ unsigned int EC_KEY_get_enc_flags(const EC_KEY *key);
+ void EC_KEY_set_enc_flags(EC_KEY *eckey, unsigned int flags);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The format of the external representation of the public key written by
+i2d_ECPrivateKey() (such as whether it is stored in a compressed form or not) is
+described by the point_conversion_form. See L<EC_GROUP_copy(3)>
+for a description of point_conversion_form.
+
+When reading a private key encoded without an associated public key (e.g. if
+EC_PKEY_NO_PUBKEY has been used - see below), then d2i_ECPrivateKey() generates
+the missing public key automatically. Private keys encoded without parameters
+(e.g. if EC_PKEY_NO_PARAMETERS has been used - see below) cannot be loaded using
+d2i_ECPrivateKey().
+
+The functions EC_KEY_get_enc_flags() and EC_KEY_set_enc_flags() get and set the
+value of the encoding flags for the B<key>. There are two encoding flags
+currently defined - EC_PKEY_NO_PARAMETERS and EC_PKEY_NO_PUBKEY.  These flags
+define the behaviour of how the  B<key> is converted into ASN1 in a call to
+i2d_ECPrivateKey(). If EC_PKEY_NO_PARAMETERS is set then the public parameters for
+the curve are not encoded along with the private key. If EC_PKEY_NO_PUBKEY is
+set then the public key is not encoded along with the private key.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+EC_KEY_get_enc_flags() returns the value of the current encoding flags for the
+EC_KEY.
