RSA_print(3ssl)

RSA_print3ssl

Print cryptographic parameters

Usage

 #include <openssl/rsa.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):

 int RSA_print(BIO *bp, const RSA *x, int offset);
 int RSA_print_fp(FILE *fp, const RSA *x, int offset);
 #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):

 int DSAparams_print(BIO *bp, const DSA *x);
 int DSAparams_print_fp(FILE *fp, const DSA *x);
 int DSA_print(BIO *bp, const DSA *x, int offset);
 int DSA_print_fp(FILE *fp, const DSA *x, int offset);
 #include <openssl/dh.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):

 int DHparams_print(BIO *bp, DH *x);
 int DHparams_print_fp(FILE *fp, const DH *x);

Overview

All of the functions described on this page are deprecated. Applications should instead use EVP_PKEY_print_params(3) and EVP_PKEY_print_private(3).

A human-readable hexadecimal output of the components of the RSA key, DSA parameters or key or DH parameters is printed to bp or fp.

The output lines are indented by offset spaces.

Return values

DSAparams_print(), DSAparams_print_fp(), DSA_print(), and DSA_print_fp() return 1 for success and 0 or a negative value for failure.

DHparams_print() and DHparams_print_fp() return 1 on success, 0 on error.
