OBJ_obj2nid(), OBJ_ln2nid(), OBJ_sn2nid() return the corresponding NID
for the object B<o>, the long name <ln> or the short name <sn> respectively
OBJ_create() adds a new object to the internal table. B<oid> is the

OBJ_length() returns the size of the content octets of B<obj>.
OBJ_get0_data() returns a pointer to the content octets of B<obj>.
The returned pointer is an internal pointer which B<must not> be freed.
-In OpenSSL versions prior to 1.1.0 OBJ_cleanup() cleaned up OpenSSLs internal

=head1 NOTES
Create an object for B<commonName>:
- ASN1_OBJECT *o;
- o = OBJ_nid2obj(NID_commonName);
+ ASN1_OBJECT *o = OBJ_nid2obj(NID_commonName);
Check if an object is B<commonName>
if (OBJ_obj2nid(obj) == NID_commonName)
- /* Do something */
+ /* Do something */
Create a new NID and initialize an object from it:
- int new_nid;
- ASN1_OBJECT *obj;
-
- new_nid = OBJ_create("1.2.3.4", "NewOID", "New Object Identifier");
-
- obj = OBJ_nid2obj(new_nid);
+ int new_nid = OBJ_create("1.2.3.4", "NewOID", "New Object Identifier");
+ ASN1_OBJECT *obj = OBJ_nid2obj(new_nid);
Create a new object directly:
