+OSSL_PARAM_BLD_new() returns the allocated OSSL_PARAM_BLD structure, or NULL
+on error.
+
OSSL_PARAM_BLD_to_param() returns the allocated OSSL_PARAM array, or NULL
on error.
All of the OSSL_PARAM_BLD_push_TYPE functions return 1 on success and 0
on error.
-=head1 NOTES
-
-The constant B<OSSL_PARAM_BLD_MAX> specifies the maximum number of parameters
-that can be added.
-Exceeding this will result in the push functions returning errors.
-The define used for this will always be at least 10 but otherwise no assumption
-should be made about it's specific value.
-
-The structure B<OSSL_PARAM_BLD> should be considered opaque and subject to
-change between versions.
