NAME
RSA_new, RSA_free - allocate and free RSA objectsSYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/rsa.h> RSA * RSA_new(void); void RSA_free(RSA *rsa);
DESCRIPTION
RSA_new() allocates and initializes anRSA
structure. It is equivalent to
calling RSA_new_method(NULL
).
RSA_free() frees the
RSA
structure and its components. The key is
erased before the memory is returned to the system.
RETURN VALUES
If the allocation fails, RSA_new() returnsNULL
and sets an error
code that can be obtained by ERR_get_error(3). Otherwise it returns
a pointer to the newly allocated structure.
RSA_free() returns no value.
