=head1 NAME
DH_new_by_nid, DH_get_nid - create or get DH named parameters
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/dh.h>
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,
see L<openssl_user_macros(7)>:
DH *DH_new_by_nid(int nid);
int DH_get_nid(const DH *dh);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
DH_new_by_nid() creates and returns a DH structure containing named parameters
B<nid>. Currently B<nid> must be B<NID_ffdhe2048>, B<NID_ffdhe3072>,
B<NID_ffdhe4096>, B<NID_ffdhe6144>, B<NID_ffdhe8192>,
B<NID_modp_1536>, B<NID_modp_2048>, B<NID_modp_3072>,
B<NID_modp_4096>, B<NID_modp_6144> or B<NID_modp_8192>.
DH_get_nid() determines if the parameters contained in B<dh> match
any named safe prime group. It returns the NID corresponding to the matching
parameters or B<NID_undef> if there is no match.
This function is deprecated.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
DH_new_by_nid() returns a set of DH parameters or B<NULL> if an error occurred.
DH_get_nid() returns the NID of the matching set of parameters for p and g
and optionally q, otherwise it returns B<NID_undef> if there is no match.
=head1 HISTORY
All of these functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
