+The \fB\s-1ECDSA_SIG\s0\fR structure consists of two BIGNUMs for the

+.PP
+\&\fIECDSA_SIG_free()\fR frees the \fB\s-1ECDSA_SIG\s0\fR structure \fBsig\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fIi2d_ECDSA_SIG()\fR creates the \s-1DER\s0 encoding of the \s-1ECDSA\s0 signature
+\&\fBsig\fR and writes the encoded signature to \fB*pp\fR (note: if \fBpp\fR
+is \s-1NULL\s0 \fBi2d_ECDSA_SIG\fR returns the expected length in bytes of
+the \s-1DER\s0 encoded signature). \fBi2d_ECDSA_SIG\fR returns the length
+of the \s-1DER\s0 encoded signature (or 0 on error).
+.PP
+\&\fId2i_ECDSA_SIG()\fR decodes a \s-1DER\s0 encoded \s-1ECDSA\s0 signature and returns
+the decoded signature in a newly allocated \fB\s-1ECDSA_SIG\s0\fR structure.
+\&\fB*sig\fR points to the buffer containing the \s-1DER\s0 encoded signature
+of size \fBlen\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fIECDSA_size()\fR returns the maximum length of a \s-1DER\s0 encoded

+.PP
+\&\fIECDSA_sign_setup()\fR may be used to precompute parts of the
+signing operation. \fBeckey\fR is the private \s-1EC\s0 key and \fBctx\fR
+is a pointer to \fB\s-1BN_CTX\s0\fR structure (or \s-1NULL\s0). The precomputed
+values or returned in \fBkinv\fR and \fBrp\fR and can be used in a
+later call to \fBECDSA_sign_ex\fR or \fBECDSA_do_sign_ex\fR.

+\&\fIECDSA_sign_ex()\fR computes a digital signature of the \fBdgstlen\fR bytes
+hash value \fBdgst\fR using the private \s-1EC\s0 key \fBeckey\fR and the optional
+pre-computed values \fBkinv\fR and \fBrp\fR. The \s-1DER\s0 encoded signatures is
+stored in \fBsig\fR and it's length is returned in \fBsig_len\fR. Note: \fBsig\fR
+must point to \fBECDSA_size\fR bytes of memory. The parameter \fBtype\fR
+is ignored.
+.PP
+\&\fIECDSA_verify()\fR verifies that the signature in \fBsig\fR of size
+\&\fBsiglen\fR is a valid \s-1ECDSA\s0 signature of the hash value
+value \fBdgst\fR of size \fBdgstlen\fR using the public key \fBeckey\fR.
+The parameter \fBtype\fR is ignored.
+.PP
+\&\fIECDSA_do_sign()\fR is wrapper function for ECDSA_do_sign_ex with \fBkinv\fR
+and \fBrp\fR set to \s-1NULL\s0.
+.PP
+\&\fIECDSA_do_sign_ex()\fR computes a digital signature of the \fBdgst_len\fR
+bytes hash value \fBdgst\fR using the private key \fBeckey\fR and the
+optional pre-computed values \fBkinv\fR and \fBrp\fR. The signature is
+returned in a newly allocated \fB\s-1ECDSA_SIG\s0\fR structure (or \s-1NULL\s0 on error).
+.PP
+\&\fIECDSA_do_verify()\fR verifies that the signature \fBsig\fR is a valid
