.. \*(C` and \*(C' are quotes in nroff, nothing in troff, for use with C<>.
. ds C` "" . ds C' "" 'br\} . ds C` . ds C' 'br\}
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_size 3" For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
DH_size, DH_bits, DH_security_bits - get Diffie-Hellman prime size and security bits 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 OPENSSL_API_COMPAT with a suitable version value, see openssl_user_macros\|(7):

.Vb 1 int DH_bits(const DH *dh); \& int DH_size(const DH *dh); \& int DH_security_bits(const DH *dh); .Ve

Header "DESCRIPTION" The functions described on this page are deprecated. Applications should instead use EVP_PKEY_get_bits\|(3), \fBEVP_PKEY_get_security_bits\|(3) and EVP_PKEY_get_size\|(3).

\fBDH_bits() returns the number of significant bits.

\fBdh and dh->p must not be NULL.

\fBDH_size() returns the Diffie-Hellman prime size in bytes. It can be used to determine how much memory must be allocated for the shared secret computed by DH_compute_key\|(3).

\fBDH_security_bits() returns the number of security bits of the given dh key. See BN_security_bits\|(3).

Header "RETURN VALUES" \fBDH_bits() returns the number of bits in the key, or -1 if \fBdh doesn't hold any key parameters.

\fBDH_size() returns the prime size of Diffie-Hellman in bytes, or -1 if \fBdh doesn't hold any key parameters.

\fBDH_security_bits() returns the number of security bits, or -1 if \fBdh doesn't hold any key parameters.

Header "SEE ALSO" \fBEVP_PKEY_get_bits\|(3), \fBDH_new\|(3), DH_generate_key\|(3), \fBBN_num_bits\|(3) Header "HISTORY" All functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0. Header "COPYRIGHT" Copyright 2000-2021 The OpenSSL Project Authors. All Rights Reserved.
