RSA_new(3)RSA_new(3)NAME
RSA_new, RSA_free - Allocate and free RSA objects
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/rsa.h>
RSA * RSA_new(
void ); void RSA_free(
RSA *rsa );
DESCRIPTION
The RSA_new() function allocates and initializes an RSA structure.
The RSA_free() function 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, the RSA_new() function returns NULL and sets
an error code that can be obtained by using the ERR_get_error() func‐
tion. Otherwise it returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure.
The RSA_free() function returns no value.
HISTORY
The RSA_new() and RSA_free() functions are available in all versions of
SSLeay and OpenSSL.
