=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/dsa.h>
Clarify the deprecation warnings in the docs There was recently an instance where a user was confused by the deprecation warnings in the docs. They believed the warning applied to the immediately preceding function declarations, when it fact it applied to the following function declarations. https://mta.openssl.org/pipermail/openssl-users/2021-December/014665.html We clarify the wording to make it clear that the warning applies to the following functions.

The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be
hidden entirely by defining B<OPENSSL_API_COMPAT> with a suitable version value,

All of the functions described on this page are deprecated.
Applications should instead use L<EVP_PKEY_keygen_init(3)> and
L<EVP_PKEY_keygen(3)> as described in L<EVP_PKEY-DSA(7)>.
Document DSA and SHA. New function BN_pseudo_rand(). Use BN_prime_checks_size(BN_num_bits(w)) rounds of Miller-Rabin when generating DSA primes (why not use BN_is_prime()?)

DSA_generate_key() expects B<a> to contain DSA parameters. It generates
a new key pair and stores it in B<a-E<gt>pub_key> and B<a-E<gt>priv_key>.
man: clarify the 'random number generator must be seeded' requirement The manual pages require for some API functions that the 'random number generator must be seeded' before calling the function. Initially, this was meant literally, i.e. the OpenSSL CSPRNG had to be seeded manually before calling these functions. Since version 1.1.1, the CSPRNG is seeded automatically on first use, so it's not the responsibility of the programmer anymore. Still, he needs to be aware that the seeding might fail.

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 L<RAND(7)>), the operation will fail.
