| =head1 NAME |
| |
| ASN1_OBJECT_new, ASN1_OBJECT_free - object allocation functions |
| |
| =head1 SYNOPSIS |
| |
| #include <openssl/asn1.h> |
| |
| ASN1_OBJECT *ASN1_OBJECT_new(void); |
| void ASN1_OBJECT_free(ASN1_OBJECT *a); |
| |
| =head1 DESCRIPTION |
| |
| The B<ASN1_OBJECT> allocation routines, allocate and free an |
| B<ASN1_OBJECT> structure, which represents an ASN1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER. |
| |
| ASN1_OBJECT_new() allocates and initializes an B<ASN1_OBJECT> structure. |
| |
| ASN1_OBJECT_free() frees up the B<ASN1_OBJECT> structure I<a>. |
| If I<a> is NULL, nothing is done. |
| |
| =head1 NOTES |
| |
| Although ASN1_OBJECT_new() allocates a new B<ASN1_OBJECT> structure it |
| is almost never used in applications. The ASN1 object utility functions |
| such as OBJ_nid2obj() are used instead. |
| |
| =head1 RETURN VALUES |
| |
| If the allocation fails, ASN1_OBJECT_new() returns NULL and sets an error |
| code that can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>. |
| Otherwise it returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure. |
| |
| ASN1_OBJECT_free() returns no value. |
