NAME

       d2i_ASN1_OBJECT, i2d_ASN1_OBJECT - ASN1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER functions

SYNOPSIS

	#include <openssl/objects.h>

	ASN1_OBJECT *d2i_ASN1_OBJECT(ASN1_OBJECT **a, unsigned char **pp, long length);
	int i2d_ASN1_OBJECT(ASN1_OBJECT *a, unsigned char **pp);

DESCRIPTION

       These functions decode and encode an ASN1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER.

       Othewise these behave in a similar way to d2i_X509() and i2d_X509() described in the d2i_X509(3) manual page.

NAME

       ASN1_OBJECT_new, ASN1_OBJECT_free, - object allocation functions

SYNOPSIS

	ASN1_OBJECT *ASN1_OBJECT_new(void);
	void ASN1_OBJECT_free(ASN1_OBJECT *a);

DESCRIPTION

       The ASN1_OBJECT allocation routines, allocate and free an ASN1_OBJECT structure, which represents an ASN1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER.

       ASN1_OBJECT_new() allocates and initializes a ASN1_OBJECT structure.

       ASN1_OBJECT_free() frees up the ASN1_OBJECT structure a.

NOTES

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

RETURN VALUES

       If the allocation fails, ASN1_OBJECT_new() returns NULL and sets an error code that can be obtained by ERR_get_error(3).  Otherwise it
       returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure.

       ASN1_OBJECT_free() returns no value.

SEE ALSO

       ERR_get_error(3), d2i_ASN1_OBJECT(3)

HISTORY

       ASN1_OBJECT_new() and ASN1_OBJECT_free() are available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL.
