- ASN1 object utilities

=head1 SYNOPSIS

=for comment generic

 #include <openssl/asn1t.h>

 DECLARE_ASN1_FUNCTIONS(type)
 IMPLEMENT_ASN1_FUNCTIONS(stname)

 typedef struct ASN1_ITEM_st ASN1_ITEM;

 extern const ASN1_ITEM TYPE_it;
 TYPE *TYPE_new(void);
 TYPE *TYPE_dup(TYPE *a);
 void TYPE_free(TYPE *a);
 int TYPE_print_ctx(BIO *out, TYPE *a, int indent, const ASN1_PCTX *pctx);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

In the description below, I<TYPE> is used
as a placeholder for any of the OpenSSL datatypes, such as I<X509>.

The OpenSSL ASN1 parsing library templates are like a data-driven bytecode
interpreter.
Every ASN1 object as a global variable, TYPE_it, that describes the item
such as its fields.  (On systems which cannot export variables from shared
libraries, the global is instead a function which returns a pointer to a
static variable.

The macro DECLARE_ASN1_FUNCTIONS() is typically used in header files
to generate the function declarations.

The macro IMPLEMENT_ASN1_FUNCTIONS() is used once in a source file
to generate the function bodies.


TYPE_new() allocates an empty object of the indicated type.
The object returned must be released by calling TYPE_free().

TYPE_dup() copies an existing object.

TYPE_free() releases the object and all pointers and sub-objects
within it.

TYPE_print_ctx() prints the object B<a> on the specified BIO B<out>.
Each line will be prefixed with B<indent> spaces.
The B<pctx> specifies the printing context and is for internal
use; use NULL to get the default behavior.  If a print function is
user-defined, then pass in any B<pctx> down to any nested calls.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

TYPE_new() and TYPE_dup() return a pointer to the object or NULL on failure.

TYPE_print_ctx() returns 1 on success or zero on failure.
