=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. |
