.Ve
.PP
The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be
hidden entirely by defining \fBOPENSSL_API_COMPAT\fR with a suitable version value,
see \fBopenssl_user_macros\fR\|(7):

.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBRSA_new()\fR allocates and initializes an \fBRSA\fR structure. It is equivalent to
calling RSA_new_method(NULL).
.PP
\&\fBRSA_free()\fR frees the \fBRSA\fR structure and its components. The key is
erased before the memory is returned to the system.
If \fBrsa\fR is NULL nothing is done.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
If the allocation fails, \fBRSA_new()\fR returns \fBNULL\fR and sets an error
code that can be obtained by \fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3). Otherwise it returns
a pointer to the newly allocated structure.
.PP
\&\fBRSA_free()\fR returns no value.

.SH HISTORY
.IX Header "HISTORY"
All functions described here were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
