+Some of the newer functions follow a naming convention using the numbers
+B<0> and B<1>. For example the functions:

+ int X509_CRL_add0_revoked(X509_CRL *crl, X509_REVOKED *rev);

+The B<0> version uses the supplied structure pointer directly
+in the parent and it will be freed up when the parent is freed.
+In the above example B<crl> would be freed but B<rev> would not.

+The B<1> function uses a copy of the supplied structure pointer
+(or in some cases increases its link count) in the parent and
