=head1 DESCRIPTION
will be called as follows using the BN_GENCB_call() function
described on the L<BN_generate_prime(3)> page.
-=over 4
+RSA_generate_prime() is similar to RSA_generate_prime_ex() but
+expects an old-style callback function; see
+L<BN_generate_prime(3)> for information on the old-style callback.
+
+=over 2
=item *
The process is then repeated for prime q with B<BN_GENCB_call(cb, 3, 1)>.
-RSA_generate_key is deprecated (new applications should use
-RSA_generate_key_ex instead). RSA_generate_key works in the same way as
-RSA_generate_key_ex except it uses "old style" call backs. See
-L<BN_generate_prime(3)> for further details.
-
=head1 RETURN VALUE
-If key generation fails, RSA_generate_key() returns B<NULL>.
-
+RSA_generate_key_ex() returns 1 on success or 0 on error.
The error codes can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>.
+RSA_generate_key() returns a pointer to the RSA structure or
+B<NULL> if the key generation fails.
+
=head1 BUGS
B<BN_GENCB_call(cb, 2, x)> is used with two different meanings.
-RSA_generate_key() goes into an infinite loop for illegal input values.
