-DSA_SIG_new() allocates and initializes a B<DSA_SIG> structure.
+DSA_SIG_new() allocates an empty B<DSA_SIG> structure.
DSA_SIG_free() frees the B<DSA_SIG> structure and its components. The
values are erased before the memory is returned to the system.

B<ECDSA_SIG> is an opaque structure consisting of two BIGNUMs for the
B<r> and B<s> value of an ECDSA signature (see X9.62 or FIPS 186-2).
-ECDSA_SIG_new() allocates a new B<ECDSA_SIG> structure (note: this
