ASN1_OBJECT_NEW(3)	     OpenSSL	       ASN1_OBJECT_NEW(3)

NAME
     ASN1_OBJECT_new, ASN1_OBJECT_free, - object allocation func-
     tions

SYNOPSIS
      ASN1_OBJECT *ASN1_OBJECT_new(void);
      void ASN1_OBJECT_free(ASN1_OBJECT *a);

DESCRIPTION
     The ASN1_OBJECT allocation routines, allocate and free an
     ASN1_OBJECT structure, which represents an ASN1 OBJECT IDEN-
     TIFIER.

     ASN1_OBJECT_new() allocates and initializes a ASN1_OBJECT
     structure.

     ASN1_OBJECT_free() frees up the ASN1_OBJECT structure a.

NOTES
     Although ASN1_OBJECT_new() allocates a new ASN1_OBJECT
     structure it is almost never used in applications. The ASN1
     object utility functions such as OBJ_nid2obj() are used
     instead.

RETURN VALUES
     If the allocation fails, ASN1_OBJECT_new() returns NULL and
     sets an error code that can be obtained by ERR_get_error(3).
     Otherwise it returns a pointer to the newly allocated struc-
     ture.

     ASN1_OBJECT_free() returns no value.

SEE ALSO
     ERR_get_error(3), d2i_ASN1_OBJECT(3)

HISTORY
     ASN1_OBJECT_new() and ASN1_OBJECT_free() are available in
     all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL.
