=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/dsa.h>
int DSA_generate_key(DSA *a);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
DSA_generate_key() expects B<a> to contain DSA parameters. It generates
a new key pair and stores it in B<a-E<gt>pub_key> and B<a-E<gt>priv_key>.
The PRNG must be seeded prior to calling DSA_generate_key().
=head1 RETURN VALUE
DSA_generate_key() returns 1 on success, 0 otherwise.
The error codes can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>.
=head1 SEE ALSO
L<dsa(3)|dsa(3)>, L<err(3)|err(3)>, L<rand(3)|rand(3)>, L<DSA_generate_parameters(3)|DSA_generate_parameters(3)>
=head1 HISTORY
DSA_generate_key() is available since SSLeay 0.8.
