 Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

 If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
 titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
 entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
 output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

 Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

 NAME
life_cycle-kdf - The KDF algorithm life-cycle
 DESCRIPTION
 Header "DESCRIPTION" All key derivation functions (KDFs) and pseudo random functions (PRFs)
go through a number of stages in their life-cycle:
 start 4
 Item "start" This state represents the KDF/PRF before it has been allocated. It is the
starting state for any life-cycle transitions.
 newed 4
 Item "newed" This state represents the KDF/PRF after it has been allocated.
 deriving 4
 Item "deriving" This state represents the KDF/PRF when it is set up and capable of generating
output.
 freed 4
 Item "freed" This state is entered when the KDF/PRF is freed. It is the terminal state
for all life-cycle transitions.
 "State Transition Diagram"
 Subsection "State Transition Diagram" The usual life-cycle of a KDF/PRF is illustrated:
 +-------------------+
 | start |
 +-------------------+

 | EVP_KDF_CTX_new
 v
 +-------------------+
 | newed | <+
 +-------------------+ |
 | |
 | EVP_KDF_derive |
 v | EVP_KDF_CTX_reset
 EVP_KDF_derive +-------------------+ |
 + - - - - - - - - | | |
 ' | deriving | |
 + - - - - - - - -> | | -+
 +-------------------+
 |
 | EVP_KDF_CTX_free
 v
 +-------------------+
 | freed |
 +-------------------+
 "Formal State Transitions"
 Subsection "Formal State Transitions" This section defines all of the legal state transitions.
This is the canonical list.
 Function Call ------------- Current State -------------
 start newed deriving freed
 EVP_KDF_CTX_new newed
 EVP_KDF_derive deriving deriving
 EVP_KDF_CTX_free freed freed freed
 EVP_KDF_CTX_reset newed newed

 EVP_KDF_CTX_set_params newed deriving
 EVP_KDF_CTX_gettable_params newed deriving
 EVP_KDF_CTX_settable_params newed deriving
