DSA_new(3)
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
  The DSA_new() function allocates and initializes a DSA structure.

  The DSA_free() function 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, the DSA_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 DSA_free() function returns no value.

HISTORY
  The DSA_new() and DSA_free() functions are available in all versions of
  SSLeay and OpenSSL.
