A copy of the NUL-terminated .Fa name is stored in the new .Vt DSA_METHOD object. Any new .Vt DSA object constructed from this .Vt DSA_METHOD will have the given .Fa flags set by default. .Pp .Fn DSA_meth_dup creates a deep copy of .Fa meth . This might be useful for creating a new .Vt DSA_METHOD based on an existing one, but with some differences. .Pp .Fn DSA_meth_free destroys .Fa meth and frees any memory associated with it. .Pp .Fn DSA_meth_set_sign sets the function used for creating a DSA signature. This function will be called from .Xr DSA_do_sign 3 and indirectly from .Xr DSA_sign 3 . The parameters of .Fa sign have the same meaning as for .Xr DSA_do_sign 3 . .Pp .Fn DSA_meth_set_finish sets an optional function for destroying a .Vt DSA object. Unless .Fa finish is .Dv NULL , it will be called from .Xr DSA_free 3 . It takes the same argument and is intended to do DSA implementation specific cleanup. The memory used by the .Vt DSA object itself should not be freed by the .Fa finish function. .Sh RETURN VALUES .Fn DSA_meth_new and .Fn DSA_meth_dup return the newly allocated DSA_METHOD object or NULL on failure. .Pp All .Fn DSA_meth_set_* functions return 1 on success or 0 on failure. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr DSA_do_sign 3 , .Xr DSA_new 3 , .Xr DSA_set_method 3 , .Xr DSA_SIG_new 3 , .Xr DSA_sign 3 .Sh HISTORY These functions first appeared in OpenSSL 1.1.0 and have been available since .Ox 6.3 .
