8=head1 SYNOPSIS
9
10 #include <openssl/asn1.h>
11
12 ASN1_VALUE *ASN1_item_new_ex(const ASN1_ITEM *it, OSSL_LIB_CTX *libctx,
13                              const char *propq);
14 ASN1_VALUE *ASN1_item_new(const ASN1_ITEM *it);
15
16=head1 DESCRIPTION
17
18ASN1_item_new_ex() creates a new B<ASN1_VALUE> structure based on the
19B<ASN1_ITEM> template given in the I<it> parameter. If any algorithm fetches are
20required during the process then they will use the B<OSSL_LIB_CTX> provided in
21the I<libctx> parameter and the property query string in I<propq>. See
22L<crypto(7)/ALGORITHM FETCHING> for more information about algorithm fetching.
23
24ASN1_item_new() is the same as ASN1_item_new_ex() except that the default
25B<OSSL_LIB_CTX> is used (i.e. NULL) and with a NULL property query string.
26
27=head1 RETURN VALUES
28
29ASN1_item_new_ex() and ASN1_item_new() return a pointer to the newly created
30B<ASN1_VALUE> or NULL on error.
