NAME

6       X509_new, X509_free - X509 certificate ASN1 allocation functions
7

SYNOPSIS

9        #include <openssl/x509.h>
10
11        X509 *X509_new(void);
12        void X509_free(X509 *a);

DESCRIPTION

15       The X509 ASN1 allocation routines, allocate and free an X509 structure,
16       which represents an X509 certificate.
17
18       X509_new() allocates and initializes a X509 structure.
19
20       X509_free() frees up the X509 structure a.
21

RETURN VALUES

23       If the allocation fails, X509_new() returns NULL and sets an error code
24       that can be obtained by ERR_get_error(3).  Otherwise it returns a
25       pointer to the newly allocated structure.
26
27       X509_free() returns no value.
