i2d_DSAPrivateKey, d2i_DSA_PUBKEY, i2d_DSA_PUBKEY, d2i_DSA_SIG,

SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/dsa.h>
DSA * d2i_DSAPublicKey(DSA **a, const unsigned char **pp, long length);
int i2d_DSAPublicKey(const DSA *a, unsigned char **pp);
DSA * d2i_DSA_PUBKEY(DSA **a, const unsigned char **pp, long length);
int i2d_DSA_PUBKEY(const DSA *a, unsigned char **pp);
DSA * d2i_DSAPrivateKey(DSA **a, const unsigned char **pp, long length);
int i2d_DSAPrivateKey(const DSA *a, unsigned char **pp);
DSA * d2i_DSAparams(DSA **a, const unsigned char **pp, long length);
int i2d_DSAparams(const DSA *a, unsigned char **pp);
DSA * d2i_DSA_SIG(DSA_SIG **a, const unsigned char **pp, long length);
int i2d_DSA_SIG(const DSA_SIG *a, unsigned char **pp);
DESCRIPTIONd2i_DSAPublicKey() and i2d_DSAPublicKey() decode and encode the DSA
public key components structure.
d2i_DSA_PUKEY() and i2d_DSA_PUKEY() decode and encode an DSA public key
using a SubjectPublicKeyInfo (certificate public key) structure.
d2i_DSAPrivateKey(), i2d_DSAPrivateKey() decode and encode the DSA
private key components.
d2i_DSAparams(), i2d_DSAparams() decode and encode the DSA parameters
using a Dss-Parms structure as defined in RFC2459.
d2i_DSA_SIG(), i2d_DSA_SIG() decode and encode a DSA signature using a
Dss-Sig-Value structure as defined in RFC2459.
The usage of all of these functions is similar to the d2i_X509() and
i2d_X509() described in the d2i_X509(3) manual page.
NOTES
The DSA structure passed to the private key encoding functions should
have all the private key components present.
The data encoded by the private key functions is unencrypted and
therefore offers no private key security.
The DSA_PUBKEY functions should be used in preference to the
DSAPublicKey functions when encoding public keys because they use a
standard format.
The DSAPublicKey functions use an non standard format the actual data
encoded depends on the value of the write_params field of the a key
parameter. If write_params is zero then only the pub_key field is
encoded as an INTEGER. If write_params is 1 then a SEQUENCE consisting
of the p, q, g and pub_key respectively fields are encoded.
The DSAPrivateKey functions also use a non standard structure consiting
consisting of a SEQUENCE containing the p, q, g and pub_key and
priv_key fields respectively.
