=head1 NAME
|
||||
|
||||
EVP_PKEY_new, EVP_PKEY_free - private key allocation functions.
|
||||
|
||||
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
||||
|
||||
#include <openssl/evp.h>
|
||||
|
||||
EVP_PKEY *EVP_PKEY_new(void);
|
||||
void EVP_PKEY_free(EVP_PKEY *key);
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
||||
|
||||
The EVP_PKEY_new() function allocates an empty B<EVP_PKEY>
|
||||
structure which is used by OpenSSL to store private keys.
|
||||
|
||||
EVP_PKEY_free() frees up the private key B<key>.
|
||||
|
||||
=head1 NOTES
|
||||
|
||||
The B<EVP_PKEY> structure is used by various OpenSSL functions
|
||||
which require a general private key without reference to any
|
||||
particular algorithm.
|
||||
|
||||
The structure returned by EVP_PKEY_new() is empty. To add a
|
||||
private key to this empty structure the functions described in
|
||||
L<EVP_PKEY_set1_RSA(3)|EVP_PKEY_set1_RSA(3)> should be used.
|
||||
|
||||
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
||||
|
||||
EVP_PKEY_new() returns either the newly allocated B<EVP_PKEY>
|
||||
structure of B<NULL> if an error occurred.
|
||||
|
||||
EVP_PKEY_free() does not return a value.
