DSA_SIG_new(3)
NAME
  DSA_SIG_new, DSA_SIG_free - Allocate and free DSA signature objects

SYNOPSIS
  #include <openssl/dsa.h>

  DSA_SIG *DSA_SIG_new(
	  void );

  void	  DSA_SIG_free(
	  DSA_SIG *a );

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