.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fB\s-1ECDSA_SIG\s0\fR is an opaque structure consisting of two BIGNUMs for the
\&\fIr\fR and \fIs\fR value of an Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (\s-1ECDSA\s0) signature
(see \s-1FIPS186\-4\s0 or X9.62).
The \fB\s-1ECDSA_SIG\s0\fR object was mainly used by the deprecated low level functions described in
\&\fBECDSA_sign\fR\|(3), it is still required in order to be able to set or get the values of
\&\fIr\fR and \fIs\fR into or from a signature. This is mainly used for testing purposes as shown
in the \*(L"\s-1EXAMPLES\*(R"\s0.
.PP
\&\fBECDSA_SIG_new()\fR allocates an empty \fB\s-1ECDSA_SIG\s0\fR structure.
Note: before OpenSSL 1.1.0, the \fIr\fR and \fIs\fR components were initialised.
.PP
\&\fBECDSA_SIG_free()\fR frees the \fB\s-1ECDSA_SIG\s0\fR structure \fIsig\fR.
.PP
\&\fBECDSA_SIG_get0()\fR returns internal pointers the \fIr\fR and \fIs\fR values contained
in \fIsig\fR and stores them in \fI*pr\fR and \fI*ps\fR, respectively.
The pointer \fIpr\fR or \fIps\fR can be \s-1NULL,\s0 in which case the corresponding value
is not returned.
.PP
The values \fIr\fR, \fIs\fR can also be retrieved separately by the corresponding
function \fBECDSA_SIG_get0_r()\fR and \fBECDSA_SIG_get0_s()\fR, respectively.
.PP
Non-NULL \fIr\fR and \fIs\fR values can be set on the \fIsig\fR by calling
\&\fBECDSA_SIG_set0()\fR. Calling this function transfers the memory management of the
values to the \fB\s-1ECDSA_SIG\s0\fR object, and therefore the values that have been
passed in should not be freed by the caller.
.PP
See \fBi2d_ECDSA_SIG\fR\|(3) and \fBd2i_ECDSA_SIG\fR\|(3) for information about encoding
and decoding \s-1ECDSA\s0 signatures to/from \s-1DER.\s0
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBECDSA_SIG_new()\fR returns \s-1NULL\s0 if the allocation fails.
.PP
\&\fBECDSA_SIG_set0()\fR returns 1 on success or 0 on failure.
.PP
\&\fBECDSA_SIG_get0_r()\fR and \fBECDSA_SIG_get0_s()\fR return the corresponding value,
or \s-1NULL\s0 if it is unset.
