 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.
