DSA_SIG_new(3)DSA_SIG_new(3)NAME
DSA_SIG_new, DSA_SIG_free - Allocate and free DSA signature objects
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/dsa.h>
DSA_SIG *DSA_SIG_new(
void ); void DSA_SIG_free(
DSA_SIG *a );
DESCRIPTIONTheDSA_SIG_new() function allocates and initializes a DSA_SIG struc‐
ture.
The DSA_SIG_free() function frees the DSA_SIG structure and its compo‐
nents. The values are erased before the memory is returned to the sys‐
tem.
RETURN VALUES
If the allocation fails, DSA_SIG_new() returns NULL and sets an error
code that can be obtained from ERR_get_error(). Otherwise it returns a
pointer to the newly allocated structure.
The DSA_SIG_free() function returns no value.
HISTORY
The DSA_SIG_new() and DSA_SIG_free() functions were added in OpenSSL
0.9.3.
