Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
NAME
ASN1_OBJECT_new, ASN1_OBJECT_free - object allocation functions
SYNOPSIS
Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/asn1.h> \& ASN1_OBJECT *ASN1_OBJECT_new(void); void ASN1_OBJECT_free(ASN1_OBJECT *a); .Ve
DESCRIPTION
Header "DESCRIPTION" The ASN1_OBJECT allocation routines, allocate and free an \fBASN1_OBJECT structure, which represents an ASN1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER.

\fBASN1_OBJECT_new() allocates and initializes an ASN1_OBJECT structure.

\fBASN1_OBJECT_free() frees up the ASN1_OBJECT structure a. If a is NULL, nothing is done.

NOTES
Header "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"
Header "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.

\fBASN1_OBJECT_free() returns no value.
