1=pod 2 3=head1 NAME 4 5ASN1_OBJECT_new, ASN1_OBJECT_free - object allocation functions 6 7=head1 SYNOPSIS 8 9 #include <openssl/asn1.h> 10 11 ASN1_OBJECT *ASN1_OBJECT_new(void); 12 void ASN1_OBJECT_free(ASN1_OBJECT *a); 13 14=head1 DESCRIPTION 15 16The B<ASN1_OBJECT> allocation routines, allocate and free an 17B<ASN1_OBJECT> structure, which represents an ASN1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER. 18 19ASN1_OBJECT_new() allocates and initializes an B<ASN1_OBJECT> structure. 20 21ASN1_OBJECT_free() frees up the B<ASN1_OBJECT> structure I<a>. 22If I<a> is NULL, nothing is done. 23 24=head1 NOTES 25 26Although ASN1_OBJECT_new() allocates a new B<ASN1_OBJECT> structure it 27is almost never used in applications. The ASN1 object utility functions 28such as OBJ_nid2obj() are used instead. 29 30=head1 RETURN VALUES 31 32If the allocation fails, ASN1_OBJECT_new() returns NULL and sets an error 33code that can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>. 34Otherwise it returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure. 35 36ASN1_OBJECT_free() returns no value. 37 38=head1 SEE ALSO 39 40L<ERR_get_error(3)>, L<d2i_ASN1_OBJECT(3)> 41 42=head1 COPYRIGHT 43 44Copyright 2002-2016 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
