LBER_MEMORY(3)                                                                                LBER_MEMORY(3)



NAME
       ber_memalloc, ber_memcalloc, ber_memrealloc, ber_memfree, ber_memvfree - 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.
