| |
| =head1 SYNOPSIS |
| |
| X509 *X509_new(void); |
| void X509_free(X509 *a); |
| |
| =head1 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 B<X509> structure B<a>. |
| |
| =head1 RETURN VALUES |
| |
| If the allocation fails, X509_new() returns B<NULL> and sets an error |
| code that can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>. |
| Otherwise it returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure. |
| |
| X509_free() returns no value. |
