+=head1 NAME
+
+evp_keymgmt_export_to_provider - key material exporter to providers for EVP
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include "internal/evp_int.h"
+
+ void *evp_keymgmt_export_to_provider(EVP_PKEY *pk, EVP_KEYMGMT *keymgmt);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+evp_keymgmt_export_to_provider() exports the key material from the
+given key I<pk> to a provider via a B<EVP_KEYMGMT> interface, if this
+hasn't already been done.
+It maintains a cache of provider key references in I<pk> to keep track
+of all such exports.
+
+If I<pk> has an assigned legacy key, a check is done to see if any of
+its key material has changed since last export, i.e. the legacy key's
+is_dirty() method returns 1.
+If it has, the cache of already exported keys is cleared, and a new
+export is made with the new key material.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+evp_keymgmt_export_to_provider() returns a pointer to the newly
+created provider side key, or NULL on error.
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+"Legacy key" is the term used for any key that has been assigned to an
+B<EVP_PKEY> with EVP_PKEY_assign_RSA() and similar functions.
