DSAnew(3) OpenSSL DSAnew(3)

NAME
       DSAnew, DSAfree - allocate and free DSA objects

SYNOPSIS
        #include 

        DSA* DSAnew(void);

        void DSAfree(DSA *dsa);

DESCRIPTION
       DSAnew() allocates and initializes a DDSSAA structure. It is equivalent
       to calling DSAnewmethod(NULL).

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

       DSAfree() returns no value.

HISTORY       DSAnew() and DSAfree() are available in all versions of SSLeay and
       OpenSSL.
