.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBECDSA_SIG\fR is an opaque structure consisting of two BIGNUMs for the
\&\fIr\fR and \fIs\fR value of an Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) signature
(see FIPS186\-4 or X9.62).
The \fBECDSA_SIG\fR object was mainly used by the deprecated low level functions described in
\&\fBECDSA_sign\fR\|(3), it is still required in order to be able to set or get the values of
\&\fIr\fR and \fIs\fR into or from a signature. This is mainly used for testing purposes as shown
in the "EXAMPLES".
.PP
\&\fBECDSA_SIG_new()\fR allocates an empty \fBECDSA_SIG\fR structure.
Note: before OpenSSL 1.1.0, the \fIr\fR and \fIs\fR components were initialised.
.PP
\&\fBECDSA_SIG_free()\fR frees the \fBECDSA_SIG\fR structure \fIsig\fR.
If the argument is NULL, nothing is done.
.PP
\&\fBECDSA_SIG_get0()\fR returns internal pointers the \fIr\fR and \fIs\fR values contained
in \fIsig\fR and stores them in \fI*pr\fR and \fI*ps\fR, respectively.
The pointer \fIpr\fR or \fIps\fR can be NULL, in which case the corresponding value
is not returned.
.PP
The values \fIr\fR, \fIs\fR can also be retrieved separately by the corresponding
function \fBECDSA_SIG_get0_r()\fR and \fBECDSA_SIG_get0_s()\fR, respectively.
.PP
Non-NULL \fIr\fR and \fIs\fR values can be set on the \fIsig\fR by calling
\&\fBECDSA_SIG_set0()\fR. Calling this function transfers the memory management of the
values to the \fBECDSA_SIG\fR object, and therefore the values that have been
passed in should not be freed by the caller.
.PP
See \fBi2d_ECDSA_SIG\fR\|(3) and \fBd2i_ECDSA_SIG\fR\|(3) for information about encoding
and decoding ECDSA signatures to/from DER.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBECDSA_SIG_new()\fR returns NULL if the allocation fails.
.PP
\&\fBECDSA_SIG_set0()\fR returns 1 on success or 0 on failure.
.PP
\&\fBECDSA_SIG_get0_r()\fR and \fBECDSA_SIG_get0_s()\fR return the corresponding value,
or NULL if it is unset.
.SH EXAMPLES
.IX Header "EXAMPLES"

\&  * Do not try to access I<r> or I<s> after calling ECDSA_SIG_free(),
\&  * as they are both freed by this call.
