32=head1 DESCRIPTION
33
34A DSA object contains the parameters B<p>, B<q> and B<g>. It also contains a
35public key (B<pub_key>) and (optionally) a private key (B<priv_key>).
36
37The B<p>, B<q> and B<g> parameters can be obtained by calling DSA_get0_pqg().
38If the parameters have not yet been set then B<*p>, B<*q> and B<*g> will be set
39to NULL. Otherwise they are set to pointers to their respective values. These
40point directly to the internal representations of the values and therefore
41should not be freed directly.
42
43The B<p>, B<q> and B<g> values can be set by calling DSA_set0_pqg() and passing
44the new values for B<p>, B<q> and B<g> as parameters to the function. Calling
45this function transfers the memory management of the values to the DSA object,
46and therefore the values that have been passed in should not be freed directly
47after this function has been called.
48
49To get the public and private key values use the DSA_get0_key() function. A
50pointer to the public key will be stored in B<*pub_key>, and a pointer to the
51private key will be stored in B<*priv_key>. Either may be NULL if they have not
52been set yet, although if the private key has been set then the public key must
53be. The values point to the internal representation of the public key and
54private key values. This memory should not be freed directly.
55
56The public and private key values can be set using DSA_set0_key(). The public
57key must be non-NULL the first time this function is called on a given DSA
58object. The private key may be NULL.  On subsequent calls, either may be NULL,
59which means the corresponding DSA field is left untouched. As for DSA_set0_pqg()
60this function transfers the memory management of the key values to the DSA
61object, and therefore they should not be freed directly after this function has
62been called.
63
64Any of the values B<p>, B<q>, B<g>, B<priv_key>, and B<pub_key> can also be
65retrieved separately by the corresponding function DSA_get0_p(), DSA_get0_q(),
66DSA_get0_g(), DSA_get0_priv_key(), and DSA_get0_pub_key(), respectively.
67
68DSA_set_flags() sets the flags in the B<flags> parameter on the DSA object.
69Multiple flags can be passed in one go (bitwise ORed together). Any flags that
70are already set are left set. DSA_test_flags() tests to see whether the flags
71passed in the B<flags> parameter are currently set in the DSA object. Multiple
72flags can be tested in one go. All flags that are currently set are returned, or
73zero if none of the flags are set. DSA_clear_flags() clears the specified flags
74within the DSA object.
75
76DSA_get0_engine() returns a handle to the ENGINE that has been set for this DSA
77object, or NULL if no such ENGINE has been set.
78
79=head1 NOTES
80
81Values retrieved with DSA_get0_key() are owned by the DSA object used
82in the call and may therefore I<not> be passed to DSA_set0_key().  If
83needed, duplicate the received value using BN_dup() and pass the
84duplicate.  The same applies to DSA_get0_pqg() and DSA_set0_pqg().
85
86=head1 RETURN VALUES
87
88DSA_set0_pqg() and DSA_set0_key() return 1 on success or 0 on failure.
89
90DSA_test_flags() returns the current state of the flags in the DSA object.
91
92DSA_get0_engine() returns the ENGINE set for the DSA object or NULL if no ENGINE
93has been set.
