Hello,
we are confused:
The "PEM_write_bio_RSAPrivateKey" function among other WRTING functions
take "kstr" argument of type "unsigned char*" and a "klen" argument
containing the length of "kstr".
On the other hand the "PEM_read_bio_PrivateKey" only takes an argument
"u" of type "void*" which is interpreted as a terminated string.
To sum it up: We have two datatypes for passphrase:
1. "unsigned char *" used with "kstr"
2. "void*" used with "u"
In Addition to that, the "PEM_write_bio_RSAPrivateKey" also takes a "u"
argument.
We want to know which datatype to use for passphrases. Can we always use
"u" and always use "char*" pointers, 'cause that's how "u" is interpreted?
Here's my main source of information on this topic:

Thanks in advance
Konrad
