5 ASN1_OBJECT_new, ASN1_OBJECT_free - object allocation functions
9 #include <openssl/asn1.h>
11 ASN1_OBJECT *ASN1_OBJECT_new(void);
12 void ASN1_OBJECT_free(ASN1_OBJECT *a);
16 The ASN1_OBJECT allocation routines, allocate and free an
17 ASN1_OBJECT structure, which represents an ASN1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER.
19 ASN1_OBJECT_new() allocates and initializes an ASN1_OBJECT structure.
21 ASN1_OBJECT_free() frees up the B<ASN1_OBJECT> structure B<a>.
22 If B<a> is NULL, nothing is done.
26 Although ASN1_OBJECT_new() allocates a new ASN1_OBJECT structure it
27 is almost never used in applications. The ASN1 object utility functions
28 such as OBJ_nid2obj() are used instead.
32 If the allocation fails, ASN1_OBJECT_new() returns B<NULL> and sets an error
33 code that can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>.
34 Otherwise it returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure.
36 ASN1_OBJECT_free() returns no value.
