DSA_new(3)                          OpenSSL                         DSA_new(3)




NAME

       DSA_new, DSA_free - allocate and free DSA objects


LIBRARY

       libcrypto, -lcrypto


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.

       erate_key(3)


HISTORY

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