ASN1_item_new(3)                    OpenSSL                   ASN1_item_new(3)



NAME
       ASN1_item_new_ex, ASN1_item_new - create new ASN.1 values

LIBRARY
       libcrypto, -lcrypto

SYNOPSIS
        #include <openssl/asn1.h>

        ASN1_VALUE *ASN1_item_new_ex(const ASN1_ITEM *it, OSSL_LIB_CTX *libctx,
                                     const char *propq);
        ASN1_VALUE *ASN1_item_new(const ASN1_ITEM *it);

DESCRIPTION
       ASN1_item_new_ex() creates a new ASN1_VALUE structure based on the
       ASN1_ITEM template given in the it parameter. If any algorithm fetches
       are required during the process then they will use the OSSL_LIB_CTX
       provided in the libctx parameter and the property query string in
       propq. See "ALGORITHM FETCHING" in crypto(7) for more information about
       algorithm fetching.

       ASN1_item_new() is the same as ASN1_item_new_ex() except that the
       default OSSL_LIB_CTX is used (i.e. NULL) and with a NULL property query
       string.

RETURN VALUES
       ASN1_item_new_ex() and ASN1_item_new() return a pointer to the newly
       created ASN1_VALUE or NULL on error.

HISTORY
       The function ASN1_item_new_ex() was added in OpenSSL 3.0.
