4 | ||
bebbb11d | 5 | ASN1_OBJECT_new, ASN1_OBJECT_free - object allocation functions |
4e1b50e2 DSH |
6 | |
7 | =head1 SYNOPSIS | |
8 | ||
c264592d UM |
9 | #include <openssl/asn1.h> |
10 | ||
4e1b50e2 DSH |
11 | ASN1_OBJECT *ASN1_OBJECT_new(void); |
12 | void ASN1_OBJECT_free(ASN1_OBJECT *a); | |
13 | ||
14 | =head1 DESCRIPTION | |
15 | ||
16 | The ASN1_OBJECT allocation routines, allocate and free an | |
17 | ASN1_OBJECT structure, which represents an ASN1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER. | |
18 | ||
35ed393e | 19 | ASN1_OBJECT_new() allocates and initializes an ASN1_OBJECT structure. |
4e1b50e2 DSH |
20 | |
21 | ASN1_OBJECT_free() frees up the B<ASN1_OBJECT> structure B<a>. | |
0dfb9398 | 22 | If B<a> is NULL, nothing is done. |

23 | |
24 | =head1 NOTES | |
25 | ||
26 | Although ASN1_OBJECT_new() allocates a new ASN1_OBJECT structure it | |
27 | is almost never used in applications. The ASN1 object utility functions | |
28 | such as OBJ_nid2obj() are used instead. | |
29 | ||
30 | =head1 RETURN VALUES | |
31 | ||
32 | If the allocation fails, ASN1_OBJECT_new() returns B<NULL> and sets an error | |
9b86974e | 33 | code that can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>. |
4e1b50e2 DSH |
34 | Otherwise it returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure. |
35 | ||
36 | ASN1_OBJECT_free() returns no value. | |
