=head1 NAME
RSA_new, RSA_free - allocate and free RSA objects
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/rsa.h>
RSA * RSA_new(void);
void RSA_free(RSA *rsa);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
RSA_new() allocates and initializes an B<RSA> structure.
RSA_free() frees the B<RSA> structure and its components. The key is
2000-01-22 01:50:27 +08:00
erased before the memory is returned to the system.
2000-01-12 06:35:21 +08:00
=head1 RETURN VALUES
If the allocation fails, RSA_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
2000-01-12 06:35:21 +08:00
a pointer to the newly allocated structure.
RSA_free() returns no value.

L<err(3)|err(3)>, L<rsa(3)|rsa(3)>, L<RSA_generate_key(3)|RSA_generate_key(3)>
