16*4724848cSchristos=head1 DESCRIPTION
17*4724848cSchristos
18*4724848cSchristosASN1_STRING_new() returns an allocated B<ASN1_STRING> structure. Its type
19*4724848cSchristosis undefined.
20*4724848cSchristos
21*4724848cSchristosASN1_STRING_type_new() returns an allocated B<ASN1_STRING> structure of
22*4724848cSchristostype B<type>.
23*4724848cSchristos
24*4724848cSchristosASN1_STRING_free() frees up B<a>.
25*4724848cSchristosIf B<a> is NULL nothing is done.

27*4724848cSchristos=head1 NOTES
28*4724848cSchristos
29*4724848cSchristosOther string types call the B<ASN1_STRING> functions. For example
30*4724848cSchristosASN1_OCTET_STRING_new() calls ASN1_STRING_type(V_ASN1_OCTET_STRING).
31*4724848cSchristos
32*4724848cSchristos=head1 RETURN VALUES
33*4724848cSchristos
34*4724848cSchristosASN1_STRING_new() and ASN1_STRING_type_new() return a valid
35*4724848cSchristosASN1_STRING structure or B<NULL> if an error occurred.
36*4724848cSchristos
37*4724848cSchristosASN1_STRING_free() does not return a value.
