=head1 DESCRIPTION
-The ASN1_OBJECT allocation routines, allocate and free an
-ASN1_OBJECT structure, which represents an ASN1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER.
+The B<ASN1_OBJECT> allocation routines, allocate and free an
+B<ASN1_OBJECT> structure, which represents an ASN1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER.
-ASN1_OBJECT_new() allocates and initializes an ASN1_OBJECT structure.
+ASN1_OBJECT_new() allocates and initializes an B<ASN1_OBJECT> structure.
-ASN1_OBJECT_free() frees up the B<ASN1_OBJECT> structure B<a>.
-If B<a> is NULL, nothing is done.
+ASN1_OBJECT_free() frees up the B<ASN1_OBJECT> structure I<a>.
+If I<a> is NULL, nothing is done.
=head1 NOTES
-Although ASN1_OBJECT_new() allocates a new ASN1_OBJECT structure it
+Although ASN1_OBJECT_new() allocates a new B<ASN1_OBJECT> structure it
is almost never used in applications. The ASN1 object utility functions
such as OBJ_nid2obj() are used instead.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
-If the allocation fails, ASN1_OBJECT_new() returns B<NULL> and sets an error
+If the allocation fails, ASN1_OBJECT_new() returns NULL and sets an error
code that can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>.
Otherwise it returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure.
