NAME
DSA_generate_key - generate DSA key pair
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/dsa.h>
int DSA_generate_key(DSA *a);
DESCRIPTION
DSA_generate_key() expects
a to contain
DSA parameters. It generates
a new key pair and stores it in
a->pub_key and
a->priv_key.
The random generator must be seeded prior to calling DSA_generate_key().
If the automatic seeding or reseeding of the OpenSSL CSPRNG fails due to
external circumstances (see RAND(7)), the operation will fail.
RETURN VALUES
DSA_generate_key() returns 1 on success, 0 otherwise.
The error codes can be obtained by
ERR_get_error(3).
