It is for example used internally by .Xr X509_load_cert_crl_file 3 . .Pp .Fn X509_INFO_new allocates and initializes an empty .Vt X509_INFO object and sets its reference count to 1. .Pp .Fn X509_INFO_free decrements the reference count of .Fa info by 1. If the reference count reaches 0, it frees all referenced objects as well as the storage needed for .Fa info itself. If .Fa info is a .Dv NULL pointer, no action occurs. .Sh RETURN VALUES .Fn X509_INFO_new returns the newly allocated .Vt X509_INFO object or .Dv NULL if an error occurs. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr X509_CRL_new 3 , .Xr X509_new 3 .Sh HISTORY .Fn X509_INFO_new and .Fn X509_INFO_free first appeared in SSLeay 0.5.1 and have been available since .Ox 2.4 .
