<p>ASN1_OBJECT_new, ASN1_OBJECT_free - object allocation functions</p>

<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>

<pre><code>#include &lt;openssl/asn1.h&gt;

ASN1_OBJECT *ASN1_OBJECT_new(void);
void ASN1_OBJECT_free(ASN1_OBJECT *a);</code></pre>

<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

<p>The <b>ASN1_OBJECT</b> allocation routines, allocate and free an <b>ASN1_OBJECT</b> structure, which represents an ASN1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER.</p>

<p>ASN1_OBJECT_new() allocates and initializes an <b>ASN1_OBJECT</b> structure.</p>

<p>ASN1_OBJECT_free() frees up the <b>ASN1_OBJECT</b> structure <i>a</i>. If <i>a</i> is NULL, nothing is done.</p>

<h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1>

<p>Although ASN1_OBJECT_new() allocates a new <b>ASN1_OBJECT</b> structure it is almost never used in applications. The ASN1 object utility functions such as OBJ_nid2obj() are used instead.</p>

<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>

<p>If the allocation fails, ASN1_OBJECT_new() returns NULL and sets an error code that can be obtained by <a href="../man3/ERR_get_error.html">ERR_get_error(3)</a>. Otherwise it returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure.</p>

<p>ASN1_OBJECT_free() returns no value.</p>
