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 system.
RETURN VALUES¶
If the allocation fails,
DSA_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_free() returns no value.
SEE ALSO¶
dsa(3),
ERR_get_error(3),
DSA_generate_parameters(3),
DSA_generate_key(3)
HISTORY¶
DSA_new() and
DSA_free() are available in all versions of SSLeay
and OpenSSL.
