=head1 NAME
RSA_new, RSA_free - allocate and free RSA objects
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/rsa.h>
RSA *RSA_new(void);
2000-01-11 22:35:21 +00:00
void RSA_free(RSA *rsa);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
RSA_new() allocates and initializes an B<RSA> structure. It is equivalent to
calling RSA_new_method(NULL).
2000-01-11 22:35:21 +00:00
RSA_free() frees the B<RSA> structure and its components. The key is
2000-01-21 17:50:27 +00:00
erased before the memory is returned to the system.
If B<rsa> is NULL nothing is done.
2000-01-11 22:35:21 +00:00
=head1 RETURN VALUES
If the allocation fails, RSA_new() returns B<NULL> and sets an error
code that can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>. Otherwise it returns
2000-01-11 22:35:21 +00:00
a pointer to the newly allocated structure.
RSA_free() returns no value.
