From c5926e930cc9a4bdf0932d14e17f1f122a70205b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Levitte Date: Fri, 6 Mar 2020 14:25:42 +0100 Subject: DOCS: Start restructuring our provider and implementation documentation This adds doc/man7/OSSL_PROVIDER-default.pod and OSSL_PROVIDER-legacy.pod, and fills in currently implemented operations and algorithms in them, as well as in doc/man7/OSSL_PROVIDER-FIPS.pod, with links to documentation to come.
