OSSL_STORE_expect() helps applications filter what OSSL_STORE_load() returns by specifying a
       OSSL_STORE_INFO type.  By default, no expectations on the types of objects to be loaded are made.
       expected_type may be 0 to indicate explicitly that no expectation is made, or it may be any of the known
       object types (see "SUPPORTED OBJECTS" in OSSL_STORE_INFO(3)) except for OSSL_STORE_INFO_NAME.  For
       example, if "file:/foo/bar/store.pem" contains several objects of different type and only certificates
       are interesting, the application can simply say that it expects the type OSSL_STORE_INFO_CERT.

       OSSL_STORE_find() helps applications specify a criterion for a more fine grained search of objects.

       OSSL_STORE_supports_search() checks if the loader of the given OSSL_STORE context supports the given
       search type.  See "SUPPORTED CRITERION TYPES" in OSSL_STORE_SEARCH(3) for information on the supported
       search criterion types.

       OSSL_STORE_expect() and OSSL_STORE_find must be called before the first OSSL_STORE_load() of a given
       session, or they will fail.

OSSL_STORE_expect(), OSSL_STORE_supports_search() and OSSL_STORE_find() were added in OpenSSL 1.1.1.

       If a more elaborate filter is required by the application, a better choice would be to use a post-
       processing function.  See OSSL_STORE_open(3) for more information.

       However, some loaders may take advantage of the knowledge of an expected type to make object retrieval
       more efficient, so if a single type is expected, this method is usually preferable.

OSSL_STORE_expect() returns 1 on success, or 0 on failure.

       OSSL_STORE_supports_search() returns 1 if the criterion is supported, or 0 otherwise.

       OSSL_STORE_find() returns 1 on success, or 0 on failure.
