     The X509 ASN1 allocation routines, allocate and free an X509
     structure, which represents an X509 certificate.

     X509_new() allocates and initializes a X509 structure.

     X509_free() frees up the XXXX555500009999 structure aaaa.

RRRREEEETTTTUUUURRRRNNNN VVVVAAAALLLLUUUUEEEESSSS
     If the allocation fails, X509_new() returns NNNNUUUULLLLLLLL and sets an
     error code that can be obtained by ERR_get_error(3).
     Otherwise it returns a pointer to the newly allocated
     structure.

     X509_free() returns no value.

     X509_new() and X509_free() are available in all versions of
     SSLeay and OpenSSL.
