X509_NEW(3)                         OpenSSL                        X509_NEW(3)
NAME
       X509_chain_up_ref, X509_new, X509_free, X509_up_ref - X509 certificate
       ASN1 allocation functions
SYNOPSIS
        #include <openssl/x509.h>
        X509 *X509_new(void);
        void X509_free(X509 *a);
        int X509_up_ref(X509 *a);
        STACK_OF(X509) *X509_chain_up_ref(STACK_OF(X509) *x);
DESCRIPTION
       The X509 ASN1 allocation routines, allocate and free an X509 structure,
       which represents an X509 certificate.
       X509_new() allocates and initializes a X509 structure with reference
       count 1.
       X509_free() decrements the reference count of X509 structure a and
       frees it up if the reference count is zero. If a is NULL nothing is
       done.
       X509_up_ref() increments the reference count of a.
       X509_chain_up_ref() increases the reference count of all certificates
       in chain x and returns a copy of the stack.
NOTES
       The function X509_up_ref() if useful if a certificate structure is
       being used by several different operations each of which will free it
       up after use: this avoids the need to duplicate the entire certificate
       structure.
       The function X509_chain_up_ref() doesn't just up the reference count of
       each certificate it also returns a copy of the stack, using
       sk_X509_dup(), but it serves a similar purpose: the returned chain
       persists after the original has been freed.
RETURN VALUES
       If the allocation fails, X509_new() returns NULL and sets an error code
       that can be obtained by ERR_get_error(3).  Otherwise it returns a
       pointer to the newly allocated structure.
       X509_up_ref() returns 1 for success and 0 for failure.
       X509_chain_up_ref() returns a copy of the stack or NULL if an error
       occurred.
