SYNOPSIS
        #include <openssl/dsa.h>

       The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can
       be hidden entirely by defining OPENSSL_API_COMPAT with a suitable
       version value, see openssl_user_macros(7):

        void DSA_get0_pqg(const DSA *d,
                          const BIGNUM **p, const BIGNUM **q, const BIGNUM **g);
        int DSA_set0_pqg(DSA *d, BIGNUM *p, BIGNUM *q, BIGNUM *g);
        void DSA_get0_key(const DSA *d,
                          const BIGNUM **pub_key, const BIGNUM **priv_key);
        int DSA_set0_key(DSA *d, BIGNUM *pub_key, BIGNUM *priv_key);
        const BIGNUM *DSA_get0_p(const DSA *d);
        const BIGNUM *DSA_get0_q(const DSA *d);
        const BIGNUM *DSA_get0_g(const DSA *d);
        const BIGNUM *DSA_get0_pub_key(const DSA *d);
        const BIGNUM *DSA_get0_priv_key(const DSA *d);
        void DSA_clear_flags(DSA *d, int flags);
        int DSA_test_flags(const DSA *d, int flags);
        void DSA_set_flags(DSA *d, int flags);
        ENGINE *DSA_get0_engine(DSA *d);

DESCRIPTION
       All of the functions described on this page are deprecated.
       Applications should instead use EVP_PKEY_get_bn_param(3).

       A DSA object contains the parameters p, q and g. It also contains a
       public key (pub_key) and (optionally) a private key (priv_key).

       The p, q and g parameters can be obtained by calling DSA_get0_pqg().
       If the parameters have not yet been set then *p, *q and *g will be set
       to NULL. Otherwise they are set to pointers to their respective values.
       These point directly to the internal representations of the values and
       therefore should not be freed directly.

       The p, q and g values can be set by calling DSA_set0_pqg() and passing
       the new values for p, q and g as parameters to the function. Calling
       this function transfers the memory management of the values to the DSA
       object, and therefore the values that have been passed in should not be
       freed directly after this function has been called.

       To get the public and private key values use the DSA_get0_key()
       function. A pointer to the public key will be stored in *pub_key, and a
       pointer to the private key will be stored in *priv_key. Either may be
       NULL if they have not been set yet, although if the private key has
       been set then the public key must be. The values point to the internal
       representation of the public key and private key values. This memory
       should not be freed directly.

       The public and private key values can be set using DSA_set0_key(). The
       public key must be non-NULL the first time this function is called on a
       given DSA object. The private key may be NULL.  On subsequent calls,
       either may be NULL, which means the corresponding DSA field is left
       untouched. As for DSA_set0_pqg() this function transfers the memory
       management of the key values to the DSA object, and therefore they
       should not be freed directly after this function has been called.

       Any of the values p, q, g, priv_key, and pub_key can also be retrieved
       separately by the corresponding function DSA_get0_p(), DSA_get0_q(),
       DSA_get0_g(), DSA_get0_priv_key(), and DSA_get0_pub_key(),
       respectively.

       DSA_set_flags() sets the flags in the flags parameter on the DSA
       object.  Multiple flags can be passed in one go (bitwise ORed
       together). Any flags that are already set are left set.
       DSA_test_flags() tests to see whether the flags passed in the flags
       parameter are currently set in the DSA object. Multiple flags can be
       tested in one go. All flags that are currently set are returned, or
       zero if none of the flags are set. DSA_clear_flags() clears the
       specified flags within the DSA object.

       DSA_get0_engine() returns a handle to the ENGINE that has been set for
       this DSA object, or NULL if no such ENGINE has been set.

NOTES
       Values retrieved with DSA_get0_key() are owned by the DSA object used
       in the call and may therefore not be passed to DSA_set0_key().  If
       needed, duplicate the received value using BN_dup() and pass the
       duplicate.  The same applies to DSA_get0_pqg() and DSA_set0_pqg().

RETURN VALUES
       DSA_set0_pqg() and DSA_set0_key() return 1 on success or 0 on failure.

       DSA_test_flags() returns the current state of the flags in the DSA
       object.

       DSA_get0_engine() returns the ENGINE set for the DSA object or NULL if
       no ENGINE has been set.
