DSA_new(3) 25/Sep/2002 (0.9.7e) DSA_new(3)
NAME
DSA_new, DSA_free - allocate and free DSA objects
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/dsa.h>
DSA* DSA_new(void);
void DSA_free(DSA *dsa);
DESCRIPTION
DSA_new() allocates and initializes a DSA structure. It is
equivalent to calling DSA_new_method(NULL).
DSA_free() frees the DSA structure and its components. The
values are erased before the memory is returned to the
system.
RETURN VALUES
If the allocation fails, DSA_new() returns NULL and sets an
error code that can be obtained by ERR_get_error(3).
Otherwise it returns a pointer to the newly allocated
structure.
DSA_free() returns no value.

HISTORY
DSA_new() and DSA_free() are available in all versions of
SSLeay and OpenSSL.
