=head1 NAME
DH_size, DH_bits, DH_security_bits - get Diffie-Hellman prime size and
security bits
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/dh.h>
int DH_size(const DH *dh);
int DH_bits(const DH *dh);
int DH_security_bits(const DH *dh);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
DH_size() returns the Diffie-Hellman prime size in bytes. It can be used
to determine how much memory must be allocated for the shared secret
computed by L<DH_compute_key(3)>.
DH_bits() returns the number of significant bits.
B<dh> and B<dh-E<gt>p> must not be B<NULL>.
DH_security_bits() returns the number of security bits of the given B<dh>
key. See L<BN_security_bits(3)>.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
DH_size() returns the prime size of Diffie-Hellman in bytes.
DH_bits() returns the number of bits in the key.
DH_security_bits() returns the number of security bits.
=head1 SEE ALSO
L<DH_new(3)>, L<DH_generate_key(3)>,
L<BN_num_bits(3)>
=head1 HISTORY
DH_bits() was added in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
