       X509new, X509free - X509 certificate ASN1 allocation functions

SYNOPSIS
        X509 *X509new(void);
        void X509free(X509 *a);

DESCRIPTION
       The X509 ASN1 allocation routines, allocate and free an X509 structure,
       which represents an X509 certificate.

       X509new() allocates and initializes a X509 structure.

       X509free() frees up the XX550099 structure aa.

RETURN VALUES
       If the allocation fails, X509new() returns NNUULLLL and sets an error code
       that can be obtained by ERRgeterror(3).  Otherwise it returns a
       pointer to the newly allocated structure.

       X509free() returns no value.
