DH_new, DH_free - allocate and free DH objects


SYNOPSIS

        #include <openssl/dh.h>

        DH* DH_new(void);

        void DH_free(DH *dh);


DESCRIPTION

       DH_new() allocates and initializes a DH structure.

       DH_free() frees the DH structure and its components. The
       values are erased before the memory is returned to the
       system.


RETURN VALUES

       If the allocation fails, DH_new() returns NULL and sets an
       error code that can be obtained by ERR_get_error(3).
       Otherwise it returns a pointer to the newly allocated
       structure.

       DH_free() returns no value.


SEE ALSO

       dh(3), err(3), DH_generate_parameters(3),
       DH_generate_key(3)


HISTORY

       DH_new() and DH_free() are available in all versions of
       SSLeay and OpenSSL.
