EVP_KDF-SSHKDF man page error?

[Kory Hamzeh]

Hi All,

If you look at the example SSH KDF code here:

https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/man7/EVP_KDF-SSHKDF.html

Specifically, these lines:

 *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string(OSSL_KDF_PARAM_SSHKDF_TYPE,
                                         &type, sizeof(type));
 
The variable ‘type’ is defined as a “const char”, so an 8 bit integer. The compiler spits out a warning on that line. Is the example code correct?

 I wonder if it should be calling OSSL_PARAM_construct_int() and ‘type’ changed to ‘int’?

Thanks,
Kory
