NAME
       shishi_decrypt_iv - API function

SYNOPSIS
       #include <shishi.h>

       int  shishi_decrypt_iv(Shishi * handle, Shishi_key * key, int keyusage,
       const char * iv, size_t ivlen, const char * in, size_t inlen,  char  **
       out, size_t * outlen);

ARGUMENTS
       Shishi * handle
		   shishi handle as allocated by shishi_init().

       Shishi_key * key
		   key to decrypt with.

       int keyusage
		   integer specifying what this key is decrypting.

       const char * iv
		   input array with initialization vector

       size_t ivlen
		   size of input array with initialization vector.

       const char * in
		   input array with data to decrypt.

       size_t inlen
		   size of input array with data to decrypt.

       char ** out output array with newly allocated decrypted data.

       size_t * outlen
		   output variable with size of newly allocated output array.

DESCRIPTION
       Decrypts	 data  using specified initialization vector and key.  The key
       actually used is derived using the key usage.  If key usage  is	0,  no
       key  derivation	is  used.   The	 OUT buffer must be deallocated by the
       caller.	The next IV is lost, see shishi_decrypt_ivupdate_etype if  you
       need it.

       Note  that  DECRYPT(ENCRYPT(data))  does	 not  necessarily  yield  data
       exactly.	 Some encryption types add pad to make the data fit  into  the
       block  size  of	the encryption algorithm.  Furthermore, the pad is not
       guaranteed to look in any special way,  although	 existing  implementa‐
       tions  often  pad  with the zero byte.  This means that you may have to
       "frame" data, so it is possible to  infer  the  original	 length	 after
       decryption.  Compare ASN.1 DER which contains such information.

RETURN VALUE
       Returns SHISHI_OK iff successful.
