       The _E_V_P___P_K_E_Y___n_e_w_(_) function allocates an empty EEVVPP__PPKKEEYY structure which
       is used by OpenSSL to store private keys.

       _E_V_P___P_K_E_Y___f_r_e_e_(_) frees up the private key kkeeyy.

NNOOTTEESS
       The EEVVPP__PPKKEEYY structure is used by various OpenSSL functions which
       require a general private key without reference to any particular algo-
       rithm.

       The structure returned by _E_V_P___P_K_E_Y___n_e_w_(_) is empty. To add a private key
       to this empty structure the functions described in _E_V_P___P_K_E_Y___s_e_t_1___R_S_A(3)
       should be used.

       _E_V_P___P_K_E_Y___n_e_w_(_) returns either the newly allocated EEVVPP__PPKKEEYY structure of
       NNUULLLL if an error occurred.

       _E_V_P___P_K_E_Y___f_r_e_e_(_) does not return a value.
