=head1 NAME

DSA_dup_DH - create a DH structure out of DSA structure

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/dsa.h>

Deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, can be hidden entirely by defining
B<OPENSSL_API_COMPAT> with a suitable version value, see
L<openssl_user_macros(7)>:

 DH *DSA_dup_DH(const DSA *r);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The function described on this page is deprecated. There is no direct
replacement, applications should use the EVP_PKEY APIs for Diffie-Hellman
operations.

DSA_dup_DH() duplicates DSA parameters/keys as DH parameters/keys. q
is lost during that conversion, but the resulting DH parameters
contain its length.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

DSA_dup_DH() returns the new B<DH> structure, and NULL on error. The
error codes can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>.

=head1 NOTE

Be careful to avoid small subgroup attacks when using this.

=head1 SEE ALSO

L<DH_new(3)>, L<DSA_new(3)>, L<ERR_get_error(3)>

=head1 HISTORY

This function was deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
