NAME
RSA_new, RSA_free - allocate and free RSA objects
LIBRARY
libcrypto, -lcrypto
SYNOPSIS
#include
RSA * RSA_new(void);
void RSA_free(RSA *rsa);
DESCRIPTION
_R_S_A___n_e_w_(_) allocates and initializes an RRSSAA structure. It is equivalent to
calling RSA_new_method(NULL).
_R_S_A___f_r_e_e_(_) frees the RRSSAA structure and its components. The key is
erased before the memory is returned to the system.
RETURN VALUES
If the allocation fails, _R_S_A___n_e_w_(_) returns NNUULLLL and sets an error
code that can be obtained by _E_R_R___g_e_t___e_r_r_o_r(3). Otherwise it returns
a pointer to the newly allocated structure.
_R_S_A___f_r_e_e_(_) returns no value.
