DH_new(3)                   OpenSSL                   DH_new(3)





NAME
       DH_new, DH_free - allocate and free DH objects

SYNOPSIS
        #include <openssl/dh.h>

        DH* DH_new(void);

        void DH_free(DH *dh);

DESCRIPTION
       DH_new() allocates and initializes a DH structure.

       DH_free() frees the DH structure and its components. The
       values are erased before the memory is returned to the
       system.

RETURN VALUES
       If the allocation fails, DH_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.

       DH_free() returns no value.

HISTORY
       DH_new() and DH_free() are available in all versions of
       SSLeay and OpenSSL.
