NAME
     PKCS8_PRIV_KEY_INFO_new, PKCS8_PRIV_KEY_INFO_free - PKCS#8 private key
     information

SYNOPSIS
     #include <openssl/x509.h>

     PKCS8_PRIV_KEY_INFO *
     PKCS8_PRIV_KEY_INFO_new(void);

     void
     PKCS8_PRIV_KEY_INFO_free(PKCS8_PRIV_KEY_INFO *key);

DESCRIPTION
     PKCS8_PRIV_KEY_INFO_new() allocates and initializes an empty
     PKCS8_PRIV_KEY_INFO object, representing an ASN.1 PrivateKeyInfo
     structure defined in RFC 5208 section 5.  It can hold a private key
     together with information about the algorithm to be used with it and
     optional attributes.

     PKCS8_PRIV_KEY_INFO_free() frees key.

RETURN VALUES
     PKCS8_PRIV_KEY_INFO_new() returns the new PKCS8_PRIV_KEY_INFO object or
     NULL if an error occurs.
