+=head1 NAME
+
+RSA_new, RSA_free - allocate and free RSA objects
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <openssl/rsa.h>
+
+ RSA * RSA_new(void);
+
+ void RSA_free(RSA *rsa);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+RSA_new() allocates and initializes an B<RSA> structure.
+
+RSA_free() frees the B<RSA> structure and its components. The key is
+erased before the memory is returned to the system.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+If the allocation fails, RSA_new() returns B<NULL> and sets an error
+code that can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>. Otherwise it returns
+a pointer to the newly allocated structure.
+
+RSA_free() returns no value.
+
+=head1 SEE ALSO
+
+L<err(3)|err(3)>, L<rsa(3)|rsa(3)>, L<RSA_generate_key(3)|RSA_generate_key(3)>
+
+=head1 HISTORY
+
+RSA_new() and RSA_free() are available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL.
