ASN1STRINGnew(3) OpenSSL ASN1STRINGnew(3)

NAME
       ASN1STRINGnew, ASN1STRINGtypenew, ASN1STRINGfree - ASN1STRING
       allocation functions

SYNOPSIS
        ASN1STRING * ASN1STRINGnew(void);
        ASN1STRING * ASN1STRINGtypenew(int type);
        void ASN1STRINGfree(ASN1STRING *a);

DESCRIPTION
       ASN1STRINGnew() returns an allocated AASSNN11SSTTRRIINNGG structure. Its type
       is undefined.

       ASN1STRINGtypenew() returns an allocated AASSNN11SSTTRRIINNGG structure of
       type ttyyppee.

       ASN1STRINGfree() frees up aa.

NNOOTTEESS
       Other string types call the AASSNN11SSTTRRIINNGG functions. For example
       ASN1OCTETSTRINGnew() calls ASN1STRINGtype(VASN1OCTETSTRING).

RETURN VALUES
       ASN1STRINGnew() and ASN1STRINGtypenew() return a valid ASN1STRING
       structure or NNUULLLL if an error occurred.

       ASN1STRINGfree() does not return a value.
