16The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be
17hidden entirely by defining B<OPENSSL_API_COMPAT> with a suitable version value,
18see L<openssl_user_macros(7)>:

20 void DSA_get0_pqg(const DSA *d,
21                   const BIGNUM **p, const BIGNUM **q, const BIGNUM **g);
22 int DSA_set0_pqg(DSA *d, BIGNUM *p, BIGNUM *q, BIGNUM *g);
23 void DSA_get0_key(const DSA *d,
24                   const BIGNUM **pub_key, const BIGNUM **priv_key);

36=head1 DESCRIPTION
37
38All of the functions described on this page are deprecated.
39Applications should instead use L<EVP_PKEY_get_bn_param(3)>.
40
41A DSA object contains the parameters B<p>, B<q> and B<g>. It also contains a
42public key (B<pub_key>) and (optionally) a private key (B<priv_key>).
43
44The B<p>, B<q> and B<g> parameters can be obtained by calling DSA_get0_pqg().
45If the parameters have not yet been set then B<*p>, B<*q> and B<*g> will be set
46to NULL. Otherwise they are set to pointers to their respective values. These
47point directly to the internal representations of the values and therefore
48should not be freed directly.
49
50The B<p>, B<q> and B<g> values can be set by calling DSA_set0_pqg() and passing
51the new values for B<p>, B<q> and B<g> as parameters to the function. Calling
52this function transfers the memory management of the values to the DSA object,
53and therefore the values that have been passed in should not be freed directly
54after this function has been called.
55
56To get the public and private key values use the DSA_get0_key() function. A
57pointer to the public key will be stored in B<*pub_key>, and a pointer to the
58private key will be stored in B<*priv_key>. Either may be NULL if they have not
59been set yet, although if the private key has been set then the public key must
60be. The values point to the internal representation of the public key and
61private key values. This memory should not be freed directly.
62
63The public and private key values can be set using DSA_set0_key(). The public
64key must be non-NULL the first time this function is called on a given DSA
65object. The private key may be NULL.  On subsequent calls, either may be NULL,
66which means the corresponding DSA field is left untouched. As for DSA_set0_pqg()
67this function transfers the memory management of the key values to the DSA
68object, and therefore they should not be freed directly after this function has
69been called.
70
71Any of the values B<p>, B<q>, B<g>, B<priv_key>, and B<pub_key> can also be
72retrieved separately by the corresponding function DSA_get0_p(), DSA_get0_q(),
73DSA_get0_g(), DSA_get0_priv_key(), and DSA_get0_pub_key(), respectively.
74
75DSA_set_flags() sets the flags in the B<flags> parameter on the DSA object.
76Multiple flags can be passed in one go (bitwise ORed together). Any flags that
77are already set are left set. DSA_test_flags() tests to see whether the flags
78passed in the B<flags> parameter are currently set in the DSA object. Multiple
79flags can be tested in one go. All flags that are currently set are returned, or
80zero if none of the flags are set. DSA_clear_flags() clears the specified flags
81within the DSA object.
82
83DSA_get0_engine() returns a handle to the ENGINE that has been set for this DSA
84object, or NULL if no such ENGINE has been set.
85
86=head1 NOTES
87
88Values retrieved with DSA_get0_key() are owned by the DSA object used
89in the call and may therefore I<not> be passed to DSA_set0_key().  If
90needed, duplicate the received value using BN_dup() and pass the
91duplicate.  The same applies to DSA_get0_pqg() and DSA_set0_pqg().
92
93=head1 RETURN VALUES
94
95DSA_set0_pqg() and DSA_set0_key() return 1 on success or 0 on failure.
96
97DSA_test_flags() returns the current state of the flags in the DSA object.
98
99DSA_get0_engine() returns the ENGINE set for the DSA object or NULL if no ENGINE
100has been set.
