NAME
X509_new, X509_free - X509 certificate ASN1 allocation functions
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/x509.h>
X509 *X509_new(void);
void X509_free(X509 *a);
DESCRIPTION
The X509 ASN1 allocation routines, allocate and free an X509 structure,
which represents an X509 certificate.
X509_new() allocates and initializes a X509 structure.
X509_free() frees up the X509 structure a.
RETURN VALUES
If the allocation fails, X509_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.
X509_free() returns no value.
