DH_new(3SSL)							      OpenSSL							      DH_new(3SSL)

NAME

       DH_new, DH_free - allocate and free DH objects

SYNOPSIS

	#include <openssl/dh.h>

	DH* DH_new(void);

	void DH_free(DH *dh);

DESCRIPTION

       DH_new() allocates and initializes a DH structure.

       DH_free() frees the DH structure and its components. The values are erased before the memory is returned to the system.

RETURN VALUES

       If the allocation fails, DH_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.

       DH_free() returns no value.

SEE ALSO

HISTORY

       DH_new() and DH_free() are available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL.

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.
