|  | =head1 NAME | 
|  |  | 
|  | ASN1_STRING_new, ASN1_STRING_type_new, ASN1_STRING_free - | 
|  | ASN1_STRING allocation functions | 
|  |  | 
|  | =head1 SYNOPSIS | 
|  |  | 
|  | ASN1_STRING * ASN1_STRING_new(void); | 
|  | ASN1_STRING * ASN1_STRING_type_new(int type); | 
|  | void ASN1_STRING_free(ASN1_STRING *a); | 
|  |  | 
|  | =head1 DESCRIPTION | 
|  |  | 
|  | ASN1_STRING_new() returns an allocated B<ASN1_STRING> structure. Its type | 
|  | is undefined. | 
|  |  | 
|  | ASN1_STRING_type_new() returns an allocated B<ASN1_STRING> structure of | 
|  | type B<type>. | 
|  |  | 
|  | ASN1_STRING_free() frees up B<a>. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =head1 NOTES | 
|  |  | 
|  | Other string types call the B<ASN1_STRING> functions. For example | 
|  | ASN1_OCTET_STRING_new() calls ASN1_STRING_type(V_ASN1_OCTET_STRING). | 
|  |  | 
|  | =head1 RETURN VALUES | 
|  |  | 
|  | ASN1_STRING_new() and ASN1_STRING_type_new() return a valid | 
|  | ASN1_STRING structure or B<NULL> if an error occurred. | 
|  |  | 
|  | ASN1_STRING_free() does not return a value. |
