DH_NEW(3ossl) OpenSSL DH_NEW(3ossl)
NAME
DH_new, DH_free - allocate and free DH objects
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/dh.h>
The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can
be hidden entirely by defining OPENSSL_API_COMPAT with a suitable
version value, see openssl_user_macros(7):
DH* DH_new(void);
void DH_free(DH *dh);
DESCRIPTION
DH_new(3) allocates and initializes a DH structure.
DH_free() frees the DH structure and its components. The values are
erased before the memory is returned to the system. If dh is NULL
nothing is done.
RETURN VALUES
If the allocation fails, DH_new(3) returns NULL and sets an error code
that can be obtained by ERR_get_error(3). Otherwise it returns a
pointer to the newly allocated structure.
DH_free() returns no value.
SEE ALSO

DH_generate_key(3), EVP_PKEY-DH(7)
HISTORY
All of these functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
For replacement see EVP_PKEY-DH(7).
