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'.

way too many mistakes in technical documents.
NAME
DSA_do_sign, DSA_do_verify - raw DSA signature operations
SYNOPSIS
Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/dsa.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 DSA_SIG *DSA_do_sign(const unsigned char *dgst, int dlen, DSA *dsa); \& int DSA_do_verify(const unsigned char *dgst, int dgst_len, DSA_SIG *sig, DSA *dsa); .Ve

DESCRIPTION
Header "DESCRIPTION" All of the functions described on this page are deprecated. Applications should instead use EVP_PKEY_sign_init\|(3), EVP_PKEY_sign\|(3), \fBEVP_PKEY_verify_init\|(3) and EVP_PKEY_verify\|(3).

\fBDSA_do_sign() computes a digital signature on the len byte message digest dgst using the private key dsa and returns it in a newly allocated DSA_SIG structure.

\fBDSA_sign_setup\|(3) may be used to precompute part of the signing operation in case signature generation is time-critical.

\fBDSA_do_verify() verifies that the signature sig matches a given message digest dgst of size len. dsa is the signer's public key.

"RETURN VALUES"
Header "RETURN VALUES" \fBDSA_do_sign() returns the signature, NULL on error. DSA_do_verify() returns 1 for a valid signature, 0 for an incorrect signature and -1 on error. The error codes can be obtained by \fBERR_get_error\|(3).
"SEE ALSO"
Header "SEE ALSO" \fBDSA_new\|(3), ERR_get_error\|(3), RAND_bytes\|(3), \fBDSA_SIG_new\|(3), \fBDSA_sign\|(3)
HISTORY
Header "HISTORY" All of these functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
