int DH_size(const DH *dh);
int DH_bits(const DH *dh);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
DH_size() returns the Diffie-Hellman prime size in bytes. It can be used
to determine how much memory must be allocated for the shared secret
computed by DH_compute_key().
DH_bits() returns the number of significant bits.
B<dh> and B<dh-E<gt>p> must not be B<NULL>.
=head1 RETURN VALUE
The size.
