/* The objects library deals with the registration and indexing of ASN.1 object
 * identifiers. These values are often written as a dotted sequence of numbers,
 * e.g. 1.2.840.113549.1.9.16.3.9.
 *
 * Internally, OpenSSL likes to deal with these values by numbering them with
 * numbers called "nids". OpenSSL has a large, built-in database of common
 * object identifiers and also has both short and long names for them.
 *
 * This library provides functions for translating between object identifiers,
 * nids, short names and long names.
 *
 * The nid values should not be used outside of a single process: they are not
 * stable identifiers. */
