EVP_PKEY_NEW(3) OpenSSL EVP_PKEY_NEW(3)
NAME
EVP_PKEY_new, EVP_PKEY_free - private key allocation func-
tions.
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/evp.h>
EVP_PKEY *EVP_PKEY_new(void);
void EVP_PKEY_free(EVP_PKEY *key);
DESCRIPTION
The EVP_PKEY_new() function allocates an empty EVP_PKEY
structure which is used by OpenSSL to store private keys.
EVP_PKEY_free() frees up the private key key.
NOTES
The EVP_PKEY structure is used by various OpenSSL functions
which require a general private key without reference to any
particular algorithm.
The structure returned by EVP_PKEY_new() is empty. To add a
private key to this empty structure the functions described
in EVP_PKEY_set1_RSA(3) should be used.
RETURN VALUES
EVP_PKEY_new() returns either the newly allocated EVP_PKEY
structure of NULL if an error occurred.
EVP_PKEY_free() does not return a value.
