DHnew(3) OpenSSL DHnew(3)

NAME
       DHnew, DHfree - allocate and free DH objects

SYNOPSIS
        #include 

        DH* DHnew(void);

        void DHfree(DH *dh);

DESCRIPTION
       DHnew() allocates and initializes a DDHH structure.

       DHfree() 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, DHnew() returns NNUULLLL and sets an error code
       that can be obtained by ERRgeterror(3). Otherwise it returns a
       pointer to the newly allocated structure.

       DHfree() returns no value.

HISTORY       DHnew() and DHfree() are available in all versions of SSLeay and
       OpenSSL.
