lber-memory(3)

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.
