=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/dsa.h>
These are updates/fixes to DH/DSA/RAND docs based on the fixes to the RSA docs. There were a couple of other places (including RSA) where the docs were not quite synchronised with the API that are now fixed. One or two still remain to be fixed though ...

Add DSA_bits() function. RT#4637 Reviewed-by: Rich Salz <rsalz@openssl.org>
2016-08-02 01:37:03 +08:00
DSA_size() returns the maximum size of an ASN.1 encoded DSA signature
for key B<dsa> in bytes. It can be used to determine how much memory must
be allocated for a DSA signature.
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_bits() returns the number of bits in key B<dsa>: this is the number
of bits in the B<p> parameter.

Fix L<> content in manpages L<foo|foo> is sub-optimal If the xref is the same as the title, which is what we do, then you only need L<foo>. This fixes all 1457 occurrences in 349 files. Approximately. (And pod used to need both.) Reviewed-by: Richard Levitte <levitte@openssl.org>
