NAME
DSA_new, DSA_free - allocate and free DSA objects
LIBRARY
libcrypto, -lcrypto
SYNOPSIS
#include
DSA* DSA_new(void);
void DSA_free(DSA *dsa);
DESCRIPTION
_D_S_A___n_e_w_(_) allocates and initializes a DDSSAA structure. It is equivalent to
calling DSA_new_method(NULL).
_D_S_A___f_r_e_e_(_) frees the DDSSAA structure and its components. The values are
erased before the memory is returned to the system.
RETURN VALUES
If the allocation fails, _D_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.
_D_S_A___f_r_e_e_(_) returns no value.
