# ASN1\_INTEGER\_new(3ssl)

ASN1\_INTEGER allocation functions

## NAME

ASN1\_INTEGER\_new, ASN1\_INTEGER\_free - ASN1\_INTEGER allocation functions

## SYNOPSIS

```
 #include <openssl/asn1.h>
 ASN1_INTEGER *ASN1_INTEGER_new(void);
 void ASN1_INTEGER_free(ASN1_INTEGER *a);
```

## DESCRIPTION

**ASN1\_INTEGER\_new()** returns an allocated **ASN1\_INTEGER** structure.

**ASN1\_INTEGER\_free()** frees up a single **ASN1\_INTEGER** object. If the argument is NULL, nothing is done.

**ASN1\_INTEGER** structure representing the ASN.1 INTEGER type

## RETURN VALUES

**ASN1\_INTEGER\_new()** return a valid **ASN1\_INTEGER** structure or NULL if an error occurred.

**ASN1\_INTEGER\_free()** does not return a value.

## SEE ALSO

**ERR\_get\_error**(3)
