Parameters

size is an integer representing the desired key size. Keys smaller than 1024 should be considered insecure.
exponent is an odd number normally 3, 17, or 65537.

/* why does this method exist?  why can't initialize take an optional exponent? */
    RSA *rsa;
    VALUE size, exp;
    VALUE obj;

    rb_scan_args(argc, argv, "11", &size, &exp);

    rsa = rsa_generate(NUM2INT(size), NIL_P(exp) ? RSA_F4 : NUM2INT(exp)); /* err handled by rsa_instance */
