=head1 NAME

ASN1_item_new_ex, ASN1_item_new
- create new ASN.1 values

=head1 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);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

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

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

=head1 RETURN VALUES

ASN1_item_new_ex() and ASN1_item_new() return a pointer to the newly created
B<ASN1_VALUE> or NULL on error.

=head1 HISTORY

The function ASN1_item_new_ex() was added in OpenSSL 3.0.
