DSA_new(3)                   OpenSSL                   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
