RSA_NEW(3ossl) OpenSSL RSA_NEW(3ossl)
NAME
RSA_new, RSA_free - allocate and free RSA objects
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/rsa.h>
The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can
be hidden entirely by defining OPENSSL_API_COMPAT with a suitable
version value, see openssl_user_macros(7):
RSA *RSA_new(void);
void RSA_free(RSA *rsa);
DESCRIPTION
RSA_new(3) 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 rsa is NULL
nothing is done.
RETURN VALUES
If the allocation fails, RSA_new(3) 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_generate_key(3), RSA_new_method(3)
HISTORY
All functions described here were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0. For
replacement see EVP_PKEY-RSA(7).
