DSA_SIG_new(3)              OpenSSL              DSA_SIG_new(3)





NAME
       DSA_SIG_new, DSA_SIG_free - allocate and free DSA signa-
       ture objects

SYNOPSIS
        #include <openssl/dsa.h>

        DSA_SIG *DSA_SIG_new(void);

        void   DSA_SIG_free(DSA_SIG *a);

DESCRIPTION
       DSA_SIG_new() allocates and initializes a DSA_SIG struc-
       ture.

       DSA_SIG_free() frees the DSA_SIG structure and its com-
       ponents. The values are erased before the memory is
       returned to the system.

RETURN VALUES
       If the allocation fails, DSA_SIG_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_SIG_free() returns no value.
