5 RSA_new, RSA_free - allocate and free RSA objects
9 #include <openssl/rsa.h>
13 void RSA_free(RSA *rsa);
17 RSA_new() allocates and initializes an B<RSA> structure. It is equivalent to
18 calling RSA_new_method(NULL).
20 RSA_free() frees the B<RSA> structure and its components. The key is
21 erased before the memory is returned to the system.
22 If B<rsa> is NULL nothing is done.
26 If the allocation fails, RSA_new() returns B<NULL> and sets an error
27 code that can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>. Otherwise it returns
28 a pointer to the newly allocated structure.
30 RSA_free() returns no value.
