      3 =head1 NAME
      4 
      5 ASN1_OBJECT_new, ASN1_OBJECT_free - object allocation functions
      6 
      7 =head1 SYNOPSIS
      8 
      9  #include <openssl/asn1.h>
     10 
     11  ASN1_OBJECT *ASN1_OBJECT_new(void);
     12  void ASN1_OBJECT_free(ASN1_OBJECT *a);
     13 
     14 =head1 DESCRIPTION
     15 
     16 The B<ASN1_OBJECT> allocation routines, allocate and free an
     17 B<ASN1_OBJECT> structure, which represents an ASN1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER.
     18 
     19 ASN1_OBJECT_new() allocates and initializes an B<ASN1_OBJECT> structure.
     20 
     21 ASN1_OBJECT_free() frees up the B<ASN1_OBJECT> structure I<a>.
     22 If I<a> is NULL, nothing is done.
     23 
     24 =head1 NOTES
     25 
     26 Although ASN1_OBJECT_new() allocates a new B<ASN1_OBJECT> structure it
     27 is almost never used in applications. The ASN1 object utility functions
     28 such as OBJ_nid2obj() are used instead.
     29 
     30 =head1 RETURN VALUES
     31 
     32 If the allocation fails, ASN1_OBJECT_new() returns NULL and sets an error
     33 code that can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>.
     34 Otherwise it returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure.
     35 
     36 ASN1_OBJECT_free() returns no value.
