+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+An RSA object contains the components for the public and private key,
+B<n>, B<e>, B<d>, B<p>, B<q>, B<dmp1>, B<dmq1> and B<iqmp>. B<n> is
+the modulus common to both public and private key, B<e> is the public
+exponent and B<d> is the private exponent. B<p>, B<q>, B<dmp1>,
+B<dmq1> and B<iqmp> are the factors for the second representation of a
+private key (see PKCS#1 section 3 Key Types), where B<p> and B<q> are
+the first and second factor of B<n> and B<dmp1>, B<dmq1> and B<iqmp>
+are the exponents and coefficient for CRT calculations.
+
+The B<n>, B<e> and B<d> parameters can be obtained by calling
+RSA_get0_key(). If they have not been set yet, then B<*n>, B<*e> and
+B<*d> will be set to NULL. Otherwise, they are set to pointers to
+their respective values. These point directly to the internal
+representations of the values and therefore should not be freed
+by the caller.
+
+The B<n>, B<e> and B<d> parameter values can be set by calling
+RSA_set0_key() and passing the new values for B<n>, B<e> and B<d> as
+parameters to the function. Calling this function transfers the memory
+management of the values to the RSA object, and therefore the values
+that have been passed in should not be freed by the caller after this
+function has been called.
+
+In a similar fashion, the B<p> and B<q> parameters can be obtained and
+set with RSA_get0_factors() and RSA_set0_factors(), and the B<dmp1>,
+B<dmq1> and B<iqmp> parameters can be obtained and set with
+RSA_get0_crt_params() and RSA_set0_crt_params().
+
+RSA_set_flags() sets the flags in the B<flags> parameter on the RSA
+object. Multiple flags can be passed in one go (bitwise ORed together).
+Any flags that are already set are left set. RSA_test_flags() tests to
+see whether the flags passed in the B<flags> parameter are currently
+set in the RSA object. Multiple flags can be tested in one go. All
+flags that are currently set are returned, or zero if none of the
+flags are set. RSA_clear_flags() clears the specified flags within the
+RSA object.
+
+RSA_get0_engine() returns a handle to the ENGINE that has been set for
+this RSA object, or NULL if no such ENGINE has been set.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+RSA_set0_key(), RSA_set0_factors and RSA_set0_crt_params() return 1 on
+success or 0 on failure.
+
+RSA_test_flags() returns the current state of the flags in the RSA object.
+
+RSA_get0_engine() returns the ENGINE set for the RSA object or NULL if no
+ENGINE has been set.
