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_generate_key - generate DSA key pair
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/dsa.h>
int DSA_generate_key(DSA *a);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
DSA_generate_key() expects B<a> to contain DSA parameters. It generates
a new key pair and stores it in B<a-E<gt>pub_key> and B<a-E<gt>priv_key>.
The PRNG must be seeded prior to calling DSA_generate_key().
=head1 RETURN VALUE
DSA_generate_key() returns 1 on success, 0 otherwise.
The error codes can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>.
=head1 SEE ALSO
L<dsa(3)|dsa(3)>, L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>, L<rand(3)|rand(3)>,
L<DSA_generate_parameters(3)|DSA_generate_parameters(3)>
=head1 HISTORY
DSA_generate_key() is available since SSLeay 0.8.
