NNNNAAAAMMMMEEEE
     EVP_PKEY_new, EVP_PKEY_free - private key allocation
     functions.

SSSSYYYYNNNNOOOOPPPPSSSSIIIISSSS
      #include 

      EVP_PKEY *EVP_PKEY_new(void);
      void EVP_PKEY_free(EVP_PKEY *key);


DDDDEEEESSSSCCCCRRRRIIIIPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNN
     The EVP_PKEY_new() function allocates an empty EEEEVVVVPPPP_PPPPKKKKEEEEYYYY
     structure which is used by OpenSSL to store private keys.

     EVP_PKEY_free() frees up the private key kkkkeeeeyyyy.

NNNNOOOOTTTTEEEESSSS
     The EEEEVVVVPPPP_PPPPKKKKEEEEYYYY structure is used by various OpenSSL functions
     which require a general private key without reference to any
     particular algorithm.

     The structure returned by EVP_PKEY_new() is empty. To add a
     private key to this empty structure the functions described
     in EVP_PKEY_set1_RSA(3) should be used.

RRRREEEETTTTUUUURRRRNNNN VVVVAAAALLLLUUUUEEEESSSS
     EVP_PKEY_new() returns either the newly allocated EEEEVVVVPPPP_PPPPKKKKEEEEYYYY
     structure of NNNNUUUULLLLLLLL if an error occurred.

     EVP_PKEY_free() does not return a value.
