RSAnew(3) OpenSSL RSAnew(3)

NAME
       RSAnew, RSAfree - allocate and free RSA objects

SYNOPSIS
        #include 

        RSA * RSAnew(void);

        void RSAfree(RSA *rsa);

DESCRIPTION
       RSAnew() allocates and initializes an RRSSAA structure. It is equivalent
       to calling RSAnewmethod(NULL).

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

       RSAfree() returns no value.

HISTORY       RSAnew() and RSAfree() are available in all versions of SSLeay and
       OpenSSL.
