<p>I'm finding that it would be helpful to have a function that
would, given PEM data (in memory or in a file) return an
indication of what kind of object it represents: a certificate, a
private key, et cetera. The ideal function would basically tell
me which PEM_read_bio_foobar function I would use to read the PEM
data (and thus what C type it represents). It would lump all
private key formats into one type, since PEM_read_PrivateKey would
work on all of them and return an EVP_PKEY.<br>
</p>
<p>Does such a function already exist? Any thoughts?<br>
