8.3 Working with handles
========================
In order to use an algorithm, an according handle must be created.
This is done using the following function:
-- Function: gcry_error_t gcry_ac_open (gcry_ac_handle_t *HANDLE, int
ALGORITHM, int FLAGS)
Creates a new handle for the algorithm ALGORITHM and stores it in
HANDLE. FLAGS is not used yet.
ALGORITHM must be a valid algorithm ID, see Available
algorithms, for a list of supported algorithms and the according
constants. Besides using the listed constants directly, the
functions `gcry_ac_name_to_id' may be used to convert the textual
name of an algorithm into the according numeric ID.
-- Function: void gcry_ac_close (gcry_ac_handle_t HANDLE)
Destroys the handle HANDLE.
