/*----- Functions provided ------------------------------------------------*/

/* --- @dh_gen@ --- *
 *
 * Arguments:	@dh_param *dp@ = pointer to output parameter block
 *		@unsigned ql@ = length of %$q$% in bits, or zero
 *		@unsigned pl@ = length of %$p$% in bits
 *		@unsigned steps@ = number of steps to go
 *		@grand *r@ = random number source
 *		@pgen_proc *event@ = event handler function
 *		@void *ectx@ = argument for the event handler
 *
 * Returns:	@PGEN_DONE@ if it worked, @PGEN_ABORT@ if it didn't.
 *
 * Use:		Generates Diffie-Hellman parameters.
 *
 *		The parameters are a prime %$q$%, relatively small, and a
 *		large prime %$p = kq + 1$% for some %$k$%, together with a
 *		generator %$g$% of the cyclic subgroup of order %$q$%.  These
 *		are actually the same as the DSA parameter set, but the
 *		generation algorithm is different.  Also, if @ql@ is zero,
 *		this algorithm forces %$k = 2$%, and chooses %$g = 4$%.  Make
 *		sure you have something interesting to do if you choose this
 *		option.
