.. Set up some character translations and predefined strings. \*(-- will
give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. \*(C+ will
give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used to do unbreakable dashes and
therefore won't be available. \*(C` and \*(C' expand to `' in nroff,
nothing in troff, for use with C<>.

Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is turned on, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
"NAME"
DSA_do_sign, DSA_do_verify - raw DSA signature operations
"SYNOPSIS"
Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/dsa.h> \& DSA_SIG *DSA_do_sign(const unsigned char *dgst, int dlen, DSA *dsa); \& int DSA_do_verify(const unsigned char *dgst, int dgst_len, DSA_SIG *sig, DSA *dsa); .Ve
"DESCRIPTION"
Header "DESCRIPTION" \fIDSA_do_sign() computes a digital signature on the len byte message digest dgst using the private key dsa and returns it in a newly allocated \s-1DSA_SIG\s0 structure.

\fIDSA_sign_setup\|(3) may be used to precompute part of the signing operation in case signature generation is time-critical.

\fIDSA_do_verify() verifies that the signature sig matches a given message digest dgst of size len. dsa is the signer's public key.

"RETURN VALUES"
Header "RETURN VALUES" \fIDSA_do_sign() returns the signature, \s-1NULL\s0 on error. DSA_do_verify() returns 1 for a valid signature, 0 for an incorrect signature and -1 on error. The error codes can be obtained by \fIERR_get_error\|(3).
"SEE ALSO"
Header "SEE ALSO" \fIdsa\|(3), ERR_get_error\|(3), rand\|(3), \fIDSA_SIG_new\|(3), \fIDSA_sign\|(3)
"HISTORY"
Header "HISTORY" \fIDSA_do_sign() and DSA_do_verify() were added in OpenSSL 0.9.3.
