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 SSLeay and OpenSSL.
