.. \*(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 "DSA_generate_key 3" For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
DSA_generate_key - generate DSA key pair 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 int DSA_generate_key(DSA *a); .Ve

Header "DESCRIPTION" All of the functions described on this page are deprecated. Applications should instead use EVP_PKEY_keygen_init\|(3) and \fBEVP_PKEY_keygen\|(3) as described in EVP_PKEY-DSA\|(7).

\fBDSA_generate_key() expects a to contain DSA parameters. It generates a new key pair and stores it in a->pub_key and a->priv_key.

The random generator must be seeded prior to calling DSA_generate_key(). If the automatic seeding or reseeding of the OpenSSL CSPRNG fails due to external circumstances (see RAND\|(7)), the operation will fail.

Header "RETURN VALUES" \fBDSA_generate_key() returns 1 on success, 0 otherwise. The error codes can be obtained by ERR_get_error\|(3). Header "SEE ALSO" \fBDSA_new\|(3), ERR_get_error\|(3), RAND_bytes\|(3), \fBDSA_generate_parameters_ex\|(3) Header "HISTORY" This function was deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
