OPENSSL_API_COMPAT with a suitable version value, see openssl_user_macros(7):

DESCRIPTION
All of the functions described on this page are deprecated. Applications should instead use
EVP_PKEY_get_bn_param(3) for any methods that return a BIGNUM. Refer to EVP_PKEY-DH(7) for more information.
A DH object contains the parameters p, q and g. Note that the q parameter is optional. It also contains a public
key (pub_key) and (optionally) a private key (priv_key).
The p, q and g parameters can be obtained by calling DH_get0_pqg(). If the parameters have not yet been set then
*p, *q and *g 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 directly. Any of the
out parameters p, q, and g can be NULL, in which case no value will be returned for that parameter.
The p, q and g values can be set by calling DH_set0_pqg() and passing the new values for p, q and g as parameters
to the function. Calling this function transfers the memory management of the values to the DH object, and
therefore the values that have been passed in should not be freed directly after this function has been called.
The q parameter may be NULL. DH_set0_pqg() also checks if the parameters associated with p and g and optionally
q are associated with known safe prime groups. If it is a safe prime group then the value of q will be set to q =
(p - 1) / 2 if q is NULL. The optional length parameter will be set to BN_num_bits(q) if q is not NULL.
To get the public and private key values use the DH_get0_key() function. A pointer to the public key will be
stored in *pub_key, and a pointer to the private key will be stored in *priv_key. Either may be NULL if they have
not been set yet, although if the private key has been set then the public key must be. The values point to the
internal representation of the public key and private key values. This memory should not be freed directly. Any
of the out parameters pub_key and priv_key can be NULL, in which case no value will be returned for that
parameter.
The public and private key values can be set using DH_set0_key(). Either parameter may be NULL, which means the
corresponding DH field is left untouched. As with DH_set0_pqg() this function transfers the memory management of
the key values to the DH object, and therefore they should not be freed directly after this function has been
called.
Any of the values p, q, g, priv_key, and pub_key can also be retrieved separately by the corresponding function
DH_get0_p(), DH_get0_q(), DH_get0_g(), DH_get0_priv_key(), and DH_get0_pub_key(), respectively.
DH_set_flags() sets the flags in the flags parameter on the DH object. Multiple flags can be passed in one go
(bitwise ORed together). Any flags that are already set are left set. DH_test_flags() tests to see whether the
flags passed in the flags parameter are currently set in the DH 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. DH_clear_flags() clears the
specified flags within the DH object.
DH_get0_engine() returns a handle to the ENGINE that has been set for this DH object, or NULL if no such ENGINE
has been set. This function is deprecated. All engines should be replaced by providers.
The DH_get_length() and DH_set_length() functions get and set the optional length parameter associated with this
DH object. If the length is nonzero then it is used, otherwise it is ignored. The length parameter indicates the
length of the secret exponent (private key) in bits. For safe prime groups the optional length parameter length
can be set to a value greater or equal to 2 * maximum_target_security_strength(BN_num_bits(p)) as listed in
SP800-56Ar3 Table(s) 25 & 26. These functions are deprecated and should be replaced with
EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params() and EVP_PKEY_get_int_param() using the parameter key OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_DH_PRIV_LEN as
described in EVP_PKEY-DH(7).
NOTES
Values retrieved with DH_get0_key() are owned by the DH object used in the call and may therefore not be passed
to DH_set0_key(). If needed, duplicate the received value using BN_dup() and pass the duplicate. The same
applies to DH_get0_pqg() and DH_set0_pqg().
RETURN VALUES
DH_set0_pqg() and DH_set0_key() return 1 on success or 0 on failure.
DH_get0_p(), DH_get0_q(), DH_get0_g(), DH_get0_priv_key(), and DH_get0_pub_key() return the respective value, or
NULL if it is unset.
DH_test_flags() returns the current state of the flags in the DH object.
DH_get0_engine() returns the ENGINE set for the DH object or NULL if no ENGINE has been set.
DH_get_length() returns the length of the secret exponent (private key) in bits, or zero if no such length has
been explicitly set.
