RSA_new, RSA_free − allocate and free RSA objects
#include <openssl/rsa.h> RSA * RSA_new(void); void RSA_free(RSA *rsa);
RSA_new() allocates and initializes an RSA structure. It is equivalent to calling RSA_new_method( NULL ).
RSA_free() frees the RSA structure and its components. The key is erased before the memory is returned to the system.
If the allocation fails, RSA_new() returns NULL and sets an error code that can be obtained by ERR_get_error(3). Otherwise it returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure.
RSA_free() returns no value.
ERR_get_error(3), rsa(3), RSA_generate_key(3), RSA_new_method(3)
RSA_new() and RSA_free() are available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL.
