.. Set up some character translations and predefined strings. \*(-- will
give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. \*(C+ will
give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used to do unbreakable dashes and
therefore won't be available. \*(C` and \*(C' expand to `' in nroff,
nothing in troff, for use with C<>.

Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

Title "DH_NEW 3"
DH_NEW 3 "2023-05-30" "3.0.9" "OpenSSL"
For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
"NAME"
DH_new, DH_free - allocate and free DH objects
"SYNOPSIS"
Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/dh.h> .Ve

The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be hidden entirely by defining \s-1OPENSSL_API_COMPAT\s0 with a suitable version value, see openssl_user_macros\|(7):

.Vb 1 DH* DH_new(void); \& void DH_free(DH *dh); .Ve

"DESCRIPTION"
Header "DESCRIPTION" \fBDH_new() allocates and initializes a \s-1DH\s0 structure.

\fBDH_free() frees the \s-1DH\s0 structure and its components. The values are erased before the memory is returned to the system. If dh is \s-1NULL\s0 nothing is done.

"RETURN VALUES"
Header "RETURN VALUES" If the allocation fails, DH_new() returns \s-1NULL\s0 and sets an error code that can be obtained by ERR_get_error\|(3). Otherwise it returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure.

\fBDH_free() returns no value.

"SEE ALSO"
Header "SEE ALSO" \fBDH_new\|(3), ERR_get_error\|(3), \fBDH_generate_parameters\|(3), \fBDH_generate_key\|(3), \s-1EVP_PKEY-DH\s0\|(7)
"HISTORY"
Header "HISTORY" All of these functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.

For replacement see \s-1EVP_PKEY-DH\s0\|(7).
