This is a recommended way to describe OSSL_STORE loaders,
"ossl_store-{name}", where {name} is replaced with the name of the
scheme it implements, in man section 7.

=head1 NAME
ossl_store-file - The store 'file' scheme loader
=head1 SYNOPSIS
=for comment generic
#include <openssl/store.h>
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Support for the 'file' scheme is built into C<libcrypto>.
Since files come in all kinds of formats and content types, the 'file'
scheme has its own layer of functionality called "file handlers",
which are used to try to decode diverse types of file contents.
In case a file is formatted as PEM, each called file handler receives
the PEM name (everything following any 'C<-----BEGIN >') as well as
possible PEM headers, together with the decoded PEM body. Since PEM
formatted files can contain more than one object, the file handlers
are called upon for each such object.
If the file isn't determined to be formatted as PEM, the content is
loaded in raw form in its entirety and passed to the available file
handlers as is, with no PEM name or headers.
Each file handler is expected to handle PEM and non-PEM content as
appropriate. Some may refuse non-PEM content for the sake of
determinism (for example, there are keys out in the wild that are
represented as an ASN.1 OCTET STRING. In raw form, it's not easily
possible to distinguish those from any other data coming as an ASN.1
OCTET STRING, so such keys would naturally be accepted as PEM files
only).
=head1 NOTES
When needed, the 'file' scheme loader will require a pass phrase by
using the C<UI_METHOD> that was passed via OSSL_STORE_open().
This pass phrase is used as it is, which may present some challenge
when the file that's loaded contains a PKCS#12 object.
See L<passphrase-encoding(7)> for more information.
=begin comment
The treatment of pass phrases is currently being worked on and may
change.
