DH_new(3)                    OpenSSL                    DH_new(3)



NAME

       DH_new, DH_free - allocate and free DH objects


LIBRARY

       libcrypto, -lcrypto


SYNOPSIS

        #include <openssl/dh.h>

        DH* DH_new(void);

        void DH_free(DH *dh);



DESCRIPTION

       DH_new() allocates and initializes a DH structure.

       DH_free() frees the DH structure and its components. The
       values are erased before the memory is returned to the
       system.


RETURN VALUES

       If the allocation fails, DH_new() returns NULL and sets an
       error code that can be obtained by ERR_get_error(3). Oth-
       erwise it returns a pointer to the newly allocated struc-
       ture.

       DH_free() returns no value.

HISTORY
