NAME

DSA_SIG_new, DSA_SIG_free − Allocate and free DSA signature objects

SYNOPSIS

#include <openssl/dsa.h>
DSA_SIG ∗DSA_SIG_new(
        void ); voidDSA_SIG_free(
        DSA_SIG ∗a );

DESCRIPTION

TheDSA_SIG_new() function allocates and initializes a DSA_SIG structure. 

The DSA_SIG_free() function frees the DSA_SIG structure and its components. 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 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.
