NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       DSA_SIG_new,  DSA_SIG_free  - Allocate and free DSA signature
 objects

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <openssl/dsa.h>

       DSA_SIG *DSA_SIG_new(
               void ); void DSA_SIG_free(
               DSA_SIG *a );

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       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    [Toc]    [Back]

       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    [Toc]    [Back]

       The DSA_SIG_new() and DSA_SIG_free() functions were  added
       in OpenSSL 0.9.3.
