A \fB\s-1DSA_METHOD\s0\fR specifies the functions that OpenSSL uses for \s-1DSA\s0
operations. By modifying the method, alternative implementations
such as hardware accelerators may be used.
.PP
Initially, the default is to use the OpenSSL internal implementation.
\&\fIDSA_OpenSSL()\fR returns a pointer to that method.
.PP
\&\fIDSA_set_default_method()\fR makes \fBmeth\fR the default method for all \fB\s-1DSA\s0\fR
structures created later.
.PP
\&\fIDSA_get_default_method()\fR returns a pointer to the current default
method.
.PP
\&\fIDSA_set_method()\fR selects \fBmeth\fR for all operations using the structure \fBdsa\fR.
.PP
\&\fIDSA_new_method()\fR allocates and initializes a \fB\s-1DSA\s0\fR structure so that
\&\fBmethod\fR will be used for the \s-1DSA\s0 operations. If \fBmethod\fR is \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR,
the default method is used.

\&\fIDSA_OpenSSL()\fR and \fIDSA_get_default_method()\fR return pointers to the
respective \fB\s-1DSA_METHOD\s0\fRs.
.PP
\&\fIDSA_set_default_method()\fR returns no value.
.PP
\&\fIDSA_set_method()\fR returns a pointer to the \fB\s-1DSA_METHOD\s0\fR previously
associated with \fBdsa\fR.
.PP
\&\fIDSA_new_method()\fR returns \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR and sets an error code that can be
obtained by ERR_get_error(3) if the allocation
fails. Otherwise it returns a pointer to the newly allocated
structure.
