Loading RSA keys from files

Question

I used the openSSL command to create 2 files: 1 for the RSA public key and 1 for the RSA private key. How to recover RSA keys using C?

In particular, I have the following functions:

RSA_public_encrypt(read_num, in_buf, out_buf, public_key, RSA_PKCS1_PADDING);
RSA_private_decrypt(read_num, in_buf, out_buf, private_key, RSA_PKCS1_PADDING);

The 4 arguments, public_key and private_key, must be in the RSA type. But I have only 2 text files generated by the openSSL command:

File 1: 
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
MIICXAIBAAKBgQDP78B9GZ9ZFG6OnZ1PU+9BPoyLRuYJr3rSX470XjbJhmlq9DTn
NvG1pxWxrd5tjlmMWD4AkHqD7E87AafvQEiABdUXwf30LatT1w6tlyQWkM/HCN5k
....

muFu93C/ULMzRoq4cpPgl3sS0F9s7+zR18SERerFvfc=
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

File 2:
-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQDP78B9GZ9ZFG6OnZ1PU+9BPoyL

gkgF6uG1yGrxuEVk/QIDAQAB
-----END PUBLIC KEY-----

Now I read these 2 files in the char [] array. Now I have to convert these 2 arrays to 2 RSA keys (public key on the client and private_key on the server) so that I can use the RSA_public_encrypt and RSA_private_decrypt functions.

Thanks.
