+=head1 NAME
+
+DH_size, DH_bits - get Diffie-Hellman prime size
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+#include <openssl/dh.h>
+
+int DH_size(const DH *dh);
+
+int DH_bits(const DH *dh);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+DH_size() returns the Diffie-Hellman prime size in bytes. It can be used
+to determine how much memory must be allocated for the shared secret
+computed by DH_compute_key().
+
+DH_bits() returns the number of significant bits.
+
+B<dh> and B<dh-E<gt>p> must not be B<NULL>.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUE
+
+The size.
+
+=head1 SEE ALSO
+
+L<dh(3)>, L<DH_generate_key(3)>,
+L<BN_num_bits(3)>
+
+=head1 HISTORY
+
+DH_bits() was added in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
