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