=head1 NAME
-ASN1_OBJECT_new, ASN1_OBJECT_free, - object allocation functions
+ASN1_OBJECT_new, ASN1_OBJECT_free - object allocation functions
=head1 SYNOPSIS
+ #include <openssl/asn1.h>
+
ASN1_OBJECT *ASN1_OBJECT_new(void);
void ASN1_OBJECT_free(ASN1_OBJECT *a);
The ASN1_OBJECT allocation routines, allocate and free an
ASN1_OBJECT structure, which represents an ASN1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER.
-ASN1_OBJECT_new() allocates and initializes a ASN1_OBJECT structure.
+ASN1_OBJECT_new() allocates and initializes an ASN1_OBJECT structure.
ASN1_OBJECT_free() frees up the B<ASN1_OBJECT> structure B<a>.
+If B<a> is NULL, nothing is done.
=head1 NOTES
=head1 RETURN VALUES
If the allocation fails, ASN1_OBJECT_new() returns B<NULL> and sets an error
-code that can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>.
+code that can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>.
Otherwise it returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure.
ASN1_OBJECT_free() returns no value.
