 =head1 DESCRIPTION
 
-DSA_new() allocates and initializes a B<DSA> structure.
+DSA_new() allocates and initializes a B<DSA> structure. It is equivalent to
+calling DSA_new_method(NULL).
 
 DSA_free() frees the B<DSA> structure and its components. The values are
 erased before the memory is returned to the system.
+If B<dsa> is NULL nothing is done.
 
 =head1 RETURN VALUES
 
 If the allocation fails, DSA_new() returns B<NULL> and sets an error
 code that can be obtained by
-L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>. Otherwise it returns a pointer
+L<ERR_get_error(3)>. Otherwise it returns a pointer
 to the newly allocated structure.
 
 DSA_free() returns no value.
