are likely enough to
be valid.
This is a lightweight check, if a more thorough check is needed, use
DH_check().
The value of B<*codes> is updated with any problems found.
If B<*codes> is zero then no problems were found, otherwise the
following bits may be set:
=over 4
=item DH_CHECK_P_NOT_PRIME
The parameter B has been determined to not being an odd prime.
Note that the lack of this bit doesn't guarantee that B
is a
prime.
=item DH_NOT_SUITABLE_GENERATOR
The generator B is not suitable.
Note that the lack of this bit doesn't guarantee that B is
suitable, unless B is known to be a strong prime.
=back
DH_check() confirms that the Diffie-Hellman parameters B are valid. The
value of B<*codes> is updated with any problems found. If B<*codes> is zero then
no problems were found, otherwise the following bits may be set:
=over 4
=item DH_CHECK_P_NOT_PRIME
The parameter B is not prime.
=item DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME
The parameter B
is not a safe prime and no B value is present.
=item DH_UNABLE_TO_CHECK_GENERATOR
The generator B cannot be checked for suitability.
=item DH_NOT_SUITABLE_GENERATOR
The generator B is not suitable.
=item DH_CHECK_Q_NOT_PRIME
The parameter B is not prime.
=item DH_CHECK_INVALID_Q_VALUE
The parameter B is invalid.
=item DH_CHECK_INVALID_J_VALUE
The parameter B is invalid.

DH_check_ex(), DH_check_params() and DH_check_pub_key_ex() are similar to
DH_check() and DH_check_params() respectively, but the error reasons are added
to the thread's error queue instead of provided as return values from the
function.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
DH_generate_parameters_ex(), DH_check() and DH_check_params() return 1
if the check could be performed, 0 otherwise.
DH_generate_parameters() returns a pointer to the DH structure or NULL if
the parameter generation fails.
DH_check_ex(), DH_check_params() and DH_check_pub_key_ex() return 1 if the
check is successful, 0 for failed.
The error codes can be obtained by L.

DH_generate_parameters() was deprecated in OpenSSL 0.9.8; use
DH_generate_parameters_ex() instead.
