NAME
DSA_new, DSA_free - allocate and free DSA objects
LIBRARY
libcrypto, -lcrypto
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.
