DSA_GET_EX_NEW_INDEX(3)

okay bestie, welcome to DSA_GET_EX_NEW_INDEX(3) — the Library Functions Manual page that’s here to explain how to add your own little application-specific data situation to DSA structures. Short page, big “it’s giving useful utility” energy ✨

💖 NAME 💖

DSA_get_ex_new_index, DSA_set_ex_data, DSA_get_ex_data — add application specific data to DSA structures 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

library “libcrypto”
#include <openssl/dsa.h>

int
DSA_get_ex_new_index(long argl, void *argp, CRYPTO_EX_new *new_func,
    CRYPTO_EX_dup *dup_func, CRYPTO_EX_free *free_func);

int
DSA_set_ex_data(DSA *d, int idx, void *arg);

char *
DSA_get_ex_data(DSA *d, int idx);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so these functions handle application specific data in DSA structures. That’s the whole vibe 💅

Their usage is literally identical to that of RSA_get_ex_new_index(3), RSA_set_ex_data(3), and RSA_get_ex_data(3). no cap — same usage, just your DSA fave instead 🌈

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

• DSA_new(3)
• RSA_get_ex_new_index(3)

👑 HISTORY 👑

DSA_get_ex_new_index(), DSA_set_ex_data(), and DSA_get_ex_data() first appeared in OpenSSL 0.9.5 and have been available since OpenBSD 2.7. iconic longevity behavior honestly ⭐
