+=head1 NAME
+
+ASN1_STRING_new, ASN1_STRING_type_new, ASN1_STRING_free -
+ASN1_STRING allocation functions
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <openssl/asn1.h>
+
+ ASN1_STRING * ASN1_STRING_new(void);
+ ASN1_STRING * ASN1_STRING_type_new(int type);
+ void ASN1_STRING_free(ASN1_STRING *a);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+ASN1_STRING_new() returns an allocated B<ASN1_STRING> structure. Its type
+is undefined.
+
+ASN1_STRING_type_new() returns an allocated B<ASN1_STRING> structure of
+type B<type>.
+
+ASN1_STRING_free() frees up B<a>.
+If B<a> is NULL nothing is done.
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+Other string types call the B<ASN1_STRING> functions. For example
+ASN1_OCTET_STRING_new() calls ASN1_STRING_type(V_ASN1_OCTET_STRING).
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+ASN1_STRING_new() and ASN1_STRING_type_new() return a valid
+ASN1_STRING structure or B<NULL> if an error occurred.
+
+ASN1_STRING_free() does not return a value.
