MirOS Manual: DSA_new(3)


DSA_NEW(3)                   OpenSSL                   DSA_NEW(3)

NAME

     DSA_new, DSA_free - allocate and free DSA objects

SYNOPSIS

      #include <openssl/dsa.h>

      DSA* DSA_new(void);

      void DSA_free(DSA *dsa);

DESCRIPTION

     DSA_new() allocates and initializes a DSA structure. It is
     equivalent to calling DSA_new_method(NULL).

     DSA_free() frees the DSA structure and its components. The
     values are erased before the memory is returned to the sys-
     tem.

RETURN VALUES

     If the allocation fails, DSA_new() returns NULL and sets an
     error code that can be obtained by ERR_get_error(3). Other-
     wise it returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure.

     DSA_free() returns no value.

     DSA_generate_key(3)

HISTORY

     DSA_new() and DSA_free() are available in all versions of
     SSLeay and OpenSSL.
