dsa_free(3) - Linux man page

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.
