DSA_generate_key(3)          OpenSSL          DSA_generate_key(3)

NAME

     DSA_generate_key - generate DSA key pair

SYNOPSIS

      #include <openssl/dsa.h>

      int DSA_generate_key(DSA *a);

DESCRIPTION

     DSA_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 PRNG must be seeded prior to calling DSA_generate_key().

RETURN VALUE

     DSA_generate_key() returns 1 on success, 0 otherwise.  The
     error codes can be obtained by ERR_get_error(3).
