ASN1_STRING_new, ASN1_STRING_type_new, ASN1_STRING_free \-
ASN1_STRING allocation functions
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 1
\& #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);
.Ve
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBASN1_STRING_new()\fR returns an allocated \fBASN1_STRING\fR structure. Its type
is undefined.
.PP
\&\fBASN1_STRING_type_new()\fR returns an allocated \fBASN1_STRING\fR structure of
type \fItype\fR.
.PP
\&\fBASN1_STRING_free()\fR frees up \fIa\fR.
If \fIa\fR is NULL nothing is done.
.SH NOTES
.IX Header "NOTES"
Other string types call the \fBASN1_STRING\fR functions. For example
\&\fBASN1_OCTET_STRING_new()\fR calls ASN1_STRING_type_new(V_ASN1_OCTET_STRING).
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBASN1_STRING_new()\fR and \fBASN1_STRING_type_new()\fR return a valid
\&\fBASN1_STRING\fR structure or NULL if an error occurred.
.PP
\&\fBASN1_STRING_free()\fR does not return a value.
