 #include 


 DH* DH_new(void);

DESCRIPTION

_D_H___n_e_w_(_) allocates and initializes a DDHH structure.

_D_H___f_r_e_e_(_) frees the DDHH structure and its components. The values are erased before the memory is returned to the system.

RETURN VALUES

If the allocation fails, _D_H___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_H___f_r_e_e_(_) returns no value.
