16*b0d17251Schristos=head1 DESCRIPTION
17*b0d17251Schristos
18*b0d17251SchristosASN1_item_new_ex() creates a new B<ASN1_VALUE> structure based on the
19*b0d17251SchristosB<ASN1_ITEM> template given in the I<it> parameter. If any algorithm fetches are
20*b0d17251Schristosrequired during the process then they will use the B<OSSL_LIB_CTX> provided in
21*b0d17251Schristosthe I<libctx> parameter and the property query string in I<propq>. See
22*b0d17251SchristosL<crypto(7)/ALGORITHM FETCHING> for more information about algorithm fetching.
23*b0d17251Schristos
24*b0d17251SchristosASN1_item_new() is the same as ASN1_item_new_ex() except that the default
25*b0d17251SchristosB<OSSL_LIB_CTX> is used (i.e. NULL) and with a NULL property query string.
26*b0d17251Schristos
27*b0d17251Schristos=head1 RETURN VALUES
28*b0d17251Schristos
29*b0d17251SchristosASN1_item_new_ex() and ASN1_item_new() return a pointer to the newly created
30*b0d17251SchristosB<ASN1_VALUE> or NULL on error.
