ASN1_STRING_new(3)          OpenSSL          ASN1_STRING_new(3)





NAME
       ASN1_STRING_new, ASN1_STRING_type_new, ASN1_STRING_free
       - ASN1_STRING allocation functions

SYNOPSIS
        ASN1_STRING * ASN1_STRING_new(void);
        ASN1_STRING * ASN1_STRING_type_new(int type);
        void ASN1_STRING_free(ASN1_STRING *a);

DESCRIPTION
       ASN1_STRING_new() returns an allocated ASN1_STRING
       structure. Its type is undefined.

       ASN1_STRING_type_new() returns an allocated ASN1_STRING
       structure of type type.

       ASN1_STRING_free() frees up a.

NOTES
       Other string types call the ASN1_STRING functions. For
       example ASN1_OCTET_STRING_new() calls
       ASN1_STRING_type(V_ASN1_OCTET_STRING).

RETURN VALUES
       ASN1_STRING_new() and ASN1_STRING_type_new() return a
       valid ASN1_STRING structure or NULL if an error
       occurred.

       ASN1_STRING_free() does not return a value.
