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

      #include <openssl/asn1.h>

      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.
