-=head1 NAME
-
-EVP_PKEY_new, EVP_PKEY_free - private key allocation functions.
-
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
-
- #include <openssl/evp.h>
-
- EVP_PKEY *EVP_PKEY_new(void);
- void EVP_PKEY_free(EVP_PKEY *key);
-
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-The EVP_PKEY_new() function allocates an empty B<EVP_PKEY>
-structure which is used by OpenSSL to store private keys.
-
-EVP_PKEY_free() frees up the private key B<key>.
-
-=head1 NOTES
-
-The B<EVP_PKEY> structure is used by various OpenSSL functions
-which require a general private key without reference to any
-particular algorithm.
-
-The structure returned by EVP_PKEY_new() is empty. To add a
-private key to this empty structure the functions described in
-L<EVP_PKEY_set1_RSA(3)|EVP_PKEY_set1_RSA(3)> should be used.
-
-=head1 RETURN VALUES
-
-EVP_PKEY_new() returns either the newly allocated B<EVP_PKEY>
-structure of B<NULL> if an error occurred.
-
-EVP_PKEY_free() does not return a value.
