### Public Class Methods

OpenSSL::Engine.by_id(name) → engine
Source

    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;
    }

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.

OpenSSL::Engine.cleanup
Source

    static VALUE
    ossl_engine_s_cleanup(VALUE self)
    {
        return Qnil;
    }

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.

OpenSSL::Engine.engines → [engine, ...]
Source

    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;
    }

Returns an array of currently loaded engines.

OpenSSL::Engine.load(name = nil)
Source

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

        rb_scan_args(argc, argv, "01", &name);
        if(NIL_P(name)){
            ENGINE_load_builtin_engines();
            return Qtrue;
        }
        StringValueCStr(name);
        OSSL_ENGINE_LOAD_IF_MATCH(dynamic, DYNAMIC);
        OSSL_ENGINE_LOAD_IF_MATCH(padlock, PADLOCK);
        OSSL_ENGINE_LOAD_IF_MATCH(capi, CAPI);
        OSSL_ENGINE_LOAD_IF_MATCH(cryptodev, CRYPTODEV);
        OSSL_ENGINE_LOAD_IF_MATCH(openssl, OPENSSL);
        rb_warning("no such builtin loader for `%"PRIsVALUE"'", name);
        return Qnil;
    }

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.

### Public Instance Methods

        int nid;

        tmp = EVP_get_cipherbyname(StringValueCStr(name));
        if(!tmp) ossl_raise(eEngineError, "no such cipher `%"PRIsVALUE"'", name);
        nid = EVP_CIPHER_nid(tmp);
        GetEngine(self, e);
        ciph = ENGINE_get_cipher(e, nid);
        if(!ciph) ossl_raise(eEngineError, NULL);

        return ossl_cipher_new(ciph);
    }

            for (p = defn; p->cmd_num > 0; p++){
                tmp = rb_ary_new();
                rb_ary_push(tmp, rb_str_new2(p->cmd_name));
                rb_ary_push(tmp, rb_str_new2(p->cmd_desc));
                rb_ary_push(tmp, ossl_engine_cmd_flag_to_name(p->cmd_flags));
