Name

lber-memory - ber_memalloc, ber_memcalloc, ber_memrealloc, ber_memfree, ber_memvfree OpenLDAP LBER memory allocators

Synopsis

#include <lber.h>

void *ber_memalloc(ber_len_t bytes);

void *ber_memcalloc(ber_len_t nelems, ber_len_t bytes);

void *ber_memrealloc(void *ptr, ber_len_t bytes);

void ber_memfree(void *ptr);

void ber_memvfree(void **vec);

Description

LBER_MEMORY(3oldap)                                        LBER_MEMORY(3oldap)



NAME
       ber_memalloc,  ber_memcalloc, ber_memrealloc, ber_memfree, ber_memvfree
       - OpenLDAP LBER memory allocators

LIBRARY
       OpenLDAP LBER (liblber, -llber)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <lber.h>

       void *ber_memalloc(ber_len_t bytes);

       void *ber_memcalloc(ber_len_t nelems, ber_len_t bytes);

       void *ber_memrealloc(void *ptr, ber_len_t bytes);

       void ber_memfree(void *ptr);

       void ber_memvfree(void **vec);

DESCRIPTION
       These routines are used to allocate/deallocate memory used/returned  by
       the  Lightweight  BER  library  as required by lber-encode(3) and lber-
       decode(3).   ber_memalloc(),  ber_memcalloc(),  ber_memrealloc(),   and
       ber_memfree()  are used exactly like the standard malloc(3), calloc(3),
       realloc(3), and free(3)  routines,  respectively.   The  ber_memvfree()
       routine  is  used  to free a dynamically allocated array of pointers to
       arbitrary dynamically allocated objects.
