NAME
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.
If dh is NULL nothing is done.
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.
