DH_new, DH_free - allocate and free DH objects
#include <openssl/dh.h> DH* DH_new(void); void DH_free(DH *dh);
DH_new() allocates and initializes a DH structure. DH_free() frees the DH structure and its components. The values are erased before the memory is returned to the sys- tem.
If the allocation fails, DH_new() returns NULL and sets an error code that can be obtained by ERR_get_error(3). Other- wise it returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure. DH_free() returns no value.
