6ASN1_STRING allocation functions

8=head1 SYNOPSIS
9
10 #include <openssl/asn1.h>
11
12 ASN1_STRING *ASN1_STRING_new(void);
13 ASN1_STRING *ASN1_STRING_type_new(int type);
14 void ASN1_STRING_free(ASN1_STRING *a);
15
16=head1 DESCRIPTION
17
18ASN1_STRING_new() returns an allocated B<ASN1_STRING> structure. Its type
19is undefined.
20
21ASN1_STRING_type_new() returns an allocated B<ASN1_STRING> structure of
22type I<type>.
23
24ASN1_STRING_free() frees up I<a>.
25If I<a> is NULL nothing is done.
26
27=head1 NOTES
28
29Other string types call the B<ASN1_STRING> functions. For example
30ASN1_OCTET_STRING_new() calls ASN1_STRING_type_new(V_ASN1_OCTET_STRING).
31
32=head1 RETURN VALUES
33
34ASN1_STRING_new() and ASN1_STRING_type_new() return a valid
35B<ASN1_STRING> structure or NULL if an error occurred.
36
37ASN1_STRING_free() does not return a value.
