ASN1_STRING_new(3)

     NAME
          ASN1_STRING_new, ASN1_STRING_type_new, ASN1_STRING_free -
          ASN1_STRING allocation functions

     SYNOPSIS
           ASN1_STRING * ASN1_STRING_new(void);
           ASN1_STRING * ASN1_STRING_type_new(int type);
           void ASN1_STRING_free(ASN1_STRING *a);


     DESCRIPTION
          ASN1_STRING_new() returns an allocated ASN1_STRING
          structure. Its type is undefined.

          ASN1_STRING_type_new() returns an allocated ASN1_STRING
          structure of type type.

          ASN1_STRING_free() frees up a.

     NOTES
          Other string types call the ASN1_STRING functions. For
          example ASN1_OCTET_STRING_new() calls
          ASN1_STRING_type(V_ASN1_OCTET_STRING).

     RETURN VALUES
          ASN1_STRING_new() and ASN1_STRING_type_new() return a valid
          ASN1_STRING structure or NULL if an error occurred.

          ASN1_STRING_free() does not return a value.
