NAME¶
DSA_SIG_new, DSA_SIG_free - allocate and free DSA signature objects
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <openssl/dsa.h>
DSA_SIG *DSA_SIG_new(void);
void DSA_SIG_free(DSA_SIG *a);
DESCRIPTION¶
DSA_SIG_new() allocates and initializes a
DSA_SIG structure.
DSA_SIG_free() frees the
DSA_SIG structure and its components. The
values are erased before the memory is returned to the system.
RETURN VALUES¶
If the allocation fails,
DSA_SIG_new() returns
NULL and sets an
error code that can be obtained by
ERR_get_error(3). Otherwise it
returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure.
DSA_SIG_free() returns no value.

HISTORY¶
DSA_SIG_new() and
DSA_SIG_free() were added in OpenSSL
0.9.3.
