RSA_new(3)                   OpenSSL                   RSA_new(3)



NAME

       RSA_new, RSA_free - allocate and free RSA objects


LIBRARY

       libcrypto, -lcrypto


SYNOPSIS

        #include <openssl/rsa.h>

        RSA * RSA_new(void);

        void RSA_free(RSA *rsa);



DESCRIPTION

       RSA_new() allocates and initializes an RSA structure.

       RSA_free() frees the RSA structure and its components. The
       key is erased before the memory is returned to the system.


RETURN VALUES

       If the allocation fails, RSA_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.

       RSA_free() returns no value.

HISTORY

       RSA_new() and RSA_free() are available in all versions of
       SSLeay and OpenSSL.
