+.Vb 1
+\& #include <openssl/dsa.h>
+.Ve
+.PP
+The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be
+hidden entirely by defining \fBOPENSSL_API_COMPAT\fR with a suitable version value,
+see \fBopenssl_user_macros\fR\|(7):

+.Vb 1
+\& int DSA_generate_key(DSA *a);
+.Ve
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+All of the functions described on this page are deprecated.
+Applications should instead use \fBEVP_PKEY_keygen_init\fR\|(3) and
+\&\fBEVP_PKEY_keygen\fR\|(3) as described in \fBEVP_PKEY\-DSA\fR\|(7).
+.PP
+\&\fBDSA_generate_key()\fR expects \fBa\fR to contain DSA parameters. It generates
+a new key pair and stores it in \fBa\->pub_key\fR and \fBa\->priv_key\fR.
+.PP
+The random generator must be seeded prior to calling \fBDSA_generate_key()\fR.
+If the automatic seeding or reseeding of the OpenSSL CSPRNG fails due to
+external circumstances (see \fBRAND\fR\|(7)), the operation will fail.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
+\&\fBDSA_generate_key()\fR returns 1 on success, 0 otherwise.
+The error codes can be obtained by \fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3).
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
+.IX Header "SEE ALSO"
+\&\fBDSA_new\fR\|(3), \fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3), \fBRAND_bytes\fR\|(3),
