DSA_size(3SSL) OpenSSL DSA_size(3SSL)NAME
DSA_size - get DSA signature size
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/dsa.h>
int DSA_size(const DSA *dsa);
DESCRIPTION
This function returns the size of an ASN.1 encoded DSA signature in bytes. It can be used to determine how much memory must be allocated
for a DSA signature.
dsa->q must not be NULL.
RETURN VALUE
The size in bytes.
SEE ALSO dsa(3), DSA_sign(3)HISTORY
DSA_size() is available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL.

DSA_sign, DSA_sign_setup, DSA_verify - DSA signatures
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/dsa.h>
int DSA_sign(int type, const unsigned char *dgst, int len,
unsigned char *sigret, unsigned int *siglen, DSA *dsa);
int DSA_sign_setup(DSA *dsa, BN_CTX *ctx, BIGNUM **kinvp,
BIGNUM **rp);
int DSA_verify(int type, const unsigned char *dgst, int len,
unsigned char *sigbuf, int siglen, DSA *dsa);
DESCRIPTION
DSA_sign() computes a digital signature on the len byte message digest dgst using the private key dsa and places its ASN.1 DER encoding at
sigret. The length of the signature is places in *siglen. sigret must point to DSA_size(dsa) bytes of memory.
DSA_sign_setup() may be used to precompute part of the signing operation in case signature generation is time-critical. It expects dsa to
contain DSA parameters. It places the precomputed values in newly allocated BIGNUMs at *kinvp and *rp, after freeing the old ones unless
*kinvp and *rp are NULL. These values may be passed to DSA_sign() in dsa->kinv and dsa->r. ctx is a pre-allocated BN_CTX or NULL.
DSA_verify() verifies that the signature sigbuf of size siglen matches a given message digest dgst of size len. dsa is the signer's public
key.
The type parameter is ignored.
The PRNG must be seeded before DSA_sign() (or DSA_sign_setup()) is called.
RETURN VALUES
DSA_sign() and DSA_sign_setup() return 1 on success, 0 on error. DSA_verify() returns 1 for a valid signature, 0 for an incorrect
signature and -1 on error. The error codes can be obtained by ERR_get_error(3).

DSA_sign() and DSA_verify() are available in all versions of SSLeay. DSA_sign_setup() was added in SSLeay 0.8.

I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:

Suppose I have a main() function with only one malloc statement allocating say some 1 gb memory. Also say my system has 1 gb of ram.
main()

return(0)

The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)
I see lot of ad-hoc shell scripts in our servers which don't have a shebang at the beginning .
Does this mean that it will run on any shell ?
Is it a good practice to create scripts (even ad-hoc ones) without shebang ? (16 Replies)
