NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       DH_new, DH_free - Allocate and free DH objects

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <openssl/dh.h>

       DH* DH_new(
               void ); void DH_free(
               DH *dh );

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  DH_new()  function  allocates  and  initializes  a DH
       structure.

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

RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]

       If the allocation fails,  the  DH_new()  function  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 DH_free() function returns no value.

HISTORY    [Toc]    [Back]

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