NAME
ASN1_STRING_new, ASN1_STRING_type_new, ASN1_STRING_free - ASN1_STRING
allocation functions
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/asn1.h>
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).
