-.In openssl/x509.h
-.Ft X509_ATTRIBUTE *
-.Fn X509_ATTRIBUTE_new void
-.Ft void
-.Fn X509_ATTRIBUTE_free "X509_ATTRIBUTE *attr"
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-In the X.501 standard, an
-.Vt Attribute
-is the fundamental ASN.1 data type used to represent any kind of
-property of any kind of directory entry.
-In OpenSSL, very few objects use it directly, most notably the
-.Vt X509_REQ_INFO
-object used for PKCS#10 certification requests described in
-.Xr X509_REQ_new 3 ,
-the
-.Vt PKCS8_PRIV_KEY_INFO
-object used for PKCS#8 private key information described in
-.Xr PKCS8_PRIV_KEY_INFO_new 3 ,
-and the
-.Vt PKCS12_SAFEBAG
-container object described in
-.Xr PKCS12_SAFEBAG_new 3 .
-.Pp
-.Fn X509_ATTRIBUTE_new
-allocates and initializes an empty
-.Vt X509_ATTRIBUTE
-object.
-.Fn X509_ATTRIBUTE_free
-frees
-.Fa attr .
-.Sh RETURN VALUES
-.Fn X509_ATTRIBUTE_new
-returns the new
-.Vt X509_ATTRIBUTE
-object or
-.Dv NULL
-if an error occurs.

-.Fn X509_ATTRIBUTE_new

-first appeared in SSLeay 0.5.1 and have been available since
-.Ox 2.4 .
-.Sh BUGS
-A data type designed to hold arbitrary data is an oxymoron.
-.Pp
-While it may occasionally be useful for abstract syntax specification
-or for generic container objects, using it for the representation
-of specific data in a specific data structure feels like dubious
-design.
-.Pp
-Having two distinct data types to hold arbitrary data \(en
-in this case,
-.Vt X509_ATTRIBUTE
-on the X.501 language level and
-.Vt X509_EXTENSION
-as described in
-.Xr X509_EXTENSION_new 3
-on the X.509 language level \(en feels even more questionable,
-in particular considering that Attributes in certification requests
-can be used to ask for Extensions in certificates.
-.Pp
-At the very least, the direct use of the low-level generic
-.Vt X509_ATTRIBUTE
-type in specific data types like certification requests or private
-key information looks like a layering violation and appears to put
-type safety into jeopardy.
