8=head1 SYNOPSIS
9
10 #include <openssl/dsa.h>
11
12 DSA_SIG *DSA_SIG_new(void);
13 void DSA_SIG_free(DSA_SIG *a);
14 void DSA_SIG_get0(const DSA_SIG *sig, const BIGNUM **pr, const BIGNUM **ps);
15 int DSA_SIG_set0(DSA_SIG *sig, BIGNUM *r, BIGNUM *s);
16
17=head1 DESCRIPTION
18
19DSA_SIG_new() allocates an empty B<DSA_SIG> structure.
20
21DSA_SIG_free() frees the B<DSA_SIG> structure and its components. The
22values are erased before the memory is returned to the system.
23
24DSA_SIG_get0() returns internal pointers to the B<r> and B<s> values contained
25in B<sig>.
26
27The B<r> and B<s> values can be set by calling DSA_SIG_set0() and passing the
28new values for B<r> and B<s> as parameters to the function. Calling this
29function transfers the memory management of the values to the DSA_SIG object,
30and therefore the values that have been passed in should not be freed directly
31after this function has been called.
32
33=head1 RETURN VALUES
34
35If the allocation fails, DSA_SIG_new() returns B<NULL> and sets an
36error code that can be obtained by
37L<ERR_get_error(3)>. Otherwise it returns a pointer
38to the newly allocated structure.
39
40DSA_SIG_free() returns no value.
41
42DSA_SIG_set0() returns 1 on success or 0 on failure.
