Richard Levitte 6859cf7459 It makes more sense to refer to specific function manuals than the concept
manual when the specific function is refered to in the current manual text.
This correction was originally introduced in OpenBSD's tracking of OpenSSL.

=head1 NAME
DSA_SIG_new, DSA_SIG_free - allocate and free DSA signature objects
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/dsa.h>
DSA_SIG *DSA_SIG_new(void);
void DSA_SIG_free(DSA_SIG *a);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
DSA_SIG_new() allocates and initializes a B<DSA_SIG> structure.
DSA_SIG_free() frees the B<DSA_SIG> structure and its components. The
values are erased before the memory is returned to the system.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
If the allocation fails, DSA_SIG_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 a pointer
to the newly allocated structure.
DSA_SIG_free() returns no value.
=head1 SEE ALSO
L<dsa(3)|dsa(3)>, L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>,
L<DSA_do_sign(3)|DSA_do_sign(3)>
=head1 HISTORY
DSA_SIG_new() and DSA_SIG_free() were added in OpenSSL 0.9.3.
