16=head1 DESCRIPTION
17
18ASN1_STRING_new() returns an allocated B<ASN1_STRING> structure. Its type
19is undefined.
20
21ASN1_STRING_type_new() returns an allocated B<ASN1_STRING> structure of
723e9c89 22type I<type>.

723e9c89
RL
24ASN1_STRING_free() frees up I<a>.
25If I<a> is NULL nothing is done.

27=head1 NOTES
28
29Other string types call the B<ASN1_STRING> functions. For example
30ASN1_OCTET_STRING_new() calls ASN1_STRING_type(V_ASN1_OCTET_STRING).
31
32=head1 RETURN VALUES
33
34ASN1_STRING_new() and ASN1_STRING_type_new() return a valid
723e9c89 35B<ASN1_STRING> structure or NULL if an error occurred.
