okay bestie, welcome to the ASN1_INTEGER_NEW(3ossl) manual page from OpenSSL — yes, we're doing allocation functions today and it's gonna be cute. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

ASN1_INTEGER_new, ASN1_INTEGER_free — the ASN1_INTEGER allocation functions. That's the whole vibe.

✨ 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. Yep, it hands you a whole structure, no cap. 🫶

ASN1_INTEGER_free() frees up a single ASN1_INTEGER object. Just one, okay? And if the argument is NULL, nothing is done — literally nothing, it's giving polite silence. 💅

The ASN1_INTEGER structure is the one representing the ASN.1 INTEGER type. Iconic, honestly. ⭐

🦋 RETURN VALUES 🦋

ASN1_INTEGER_new() returns a valid ASN1_INTEGER structure or NULL if an error occurred. So if you get NULL, that's your error moment — check it, bestie. 😭

ASN1_INTEGER_free() does not return a value. No return, no drama. 🎀
