NAME
       DH_new, DH_free - allocate and free DH objects


SYNOPSIS
        #include <openssl/dh.h>

        DH* DH_new(void);

        void DH_free(DH *dh);


DESCRIPTION
       DH_new() allocates and initializes a DH structure.

       DH_free() frees the DH structure and its components. The values are erased before the memory is returned
       to the system.  If dh is NULL nothing is done.


RETURN VALUES
       If the allocation fails, DH_new() returns NULL and sets an error code that can be obtained by
       ERR_get_error(3). Otherwise it returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure.

       DH_free() returns no value.
