       The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be hidden entirely
       by defining OPENSSL_API_COMPAT with a suitable version value, see openssl_user_macros(7):

        int CRYPTO_mem_leaks(BIO *b);
        int CRYPTO_mem_leaks_fp(FILE *fp);
        int CRYPTO_mem_leaks_cb(int (*cb)(const char *str, size_t len, void *u),
                                void *u);

        int CRYPTO_set_mem_debug(int onoff);
        int CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(int mode);
        int OPENSSL_mem_debug_push(const char *info);
        int OPENSSL_mem_debug_pop(void);
        int CRYPTO_mem_debug_push(const char *info, const char *file, int line);
        int CRYPTO_mem_debug_pop(void);

DESCRIPTION

       OpenSSL memory allocation is handled by the OPENSSL_xxx API. These are generally macro's
       that add the standard C __FILE__ and __LINE__ parameters and call a lower-level CRYPTO_xxx
       API.  Some functions do not add those parameters, but exist for consistency.

       OPENSSL_malloc_init() does nothing and does not need to be called. It is included for
       compatibility with older versions of OpenSSL.

       OPENSSL_malloc(), OPENSSL_realloc(), and OPENSSL_free() are like the C malloc(),
       realloc(), and free() functions.  OPENSSL_zalloc() calls memset() to zero the memory
       before returning.

       OPENSSL_clear_realloc() and OPENSSL_clear_free() should be used when the buffer at addr
       holds sensitive information.  The old buffer is filled with zero's by calling
       OPENSSL_cleanse() before ultimately calling OPENSSL_free().

       OPENSSL_cleanse() fills ptr of size len with a string of 0's.  Use OPENSSL_cleanse() with
       care if the memory is a mapping of a file.  If the storage controller uses write
       compression, then it's possible that sensitive tail bytes will survive zeroization because
       the block of zeros will be compressed. If the storage controller uses wear leveling, then
       the old sensitive data will not be overwritten; rather, a block of 0's will be written at
       a new physical location.

       OPENSSL_strdup(), OPENSSL_strndup() and OPENSSL_memdup() are like the equivalent C
       functions, except that memory is allocated by calling the OPENSSL_malloc() and should be
       released by calling OPENSSL_free().

       OPENSSL_strlcpy(), OPENSSL_strlcat() and OPENSSL_strnlen() are equivalents of the common C
       library functions and are provided for portability.

       If no allocations have been done, it is possible to "swap out" the default implementations
       for OPENSSL_malloc(), OPENSSL_realloc() and OPENSSL_free() and replace them with alternate
       versions.  CRYPTO_get_mem_functions() function fills in the given arguments with the
       function pointers for the current implementations.  With CRYPTO_set_mem_functions(), you
       can specify a different set of functions.  If any of malloc_fn, realloc_fn, or free_fn are
       NULL, then the function is not changed.  While it's permitted to swap out only a few and
       not all the functions with CRYPTO_set_mem_functions(), it's recommended to swap them all
       out at once.

       If the library is built with the "crypto-mdebug" option, then one function,
       CRYPTO_get_alloc_counts(), and two additional environment variables,
       OPENSSL_MALLOC_FAILURES and OPENSSL_MALLOC_FD, are available.

       The function CRYPTO_get_alloc_counts() fills in the number of times each of
       CRYPTO_malloc(), CRYPTO_realloc(), and CRYPTO_free() have been called, into the values
       pointed to by mcount, rcount, and fcount, respectively.  If a pointer is NULL, then the
       corresponding count is not stored.

       The variable OPENSSL_MALLOC_FAILURES controls how often allocations should fail.  It is a
       set of fields separated by semicolons, which each field is a count (defaulting to zero)
       and an optional atsign and percentage (defaulting to 100).  If the count is zero, then it
       lasts forever.  For example, "100;@25" or "100@0;0@25" means the first 100 allocations
       pass, then all other allocations (until the program exits or crashes) have a 25% chance of
       failing.

       If the variable OPENSSL_MALLOC_FD is parsed as a positive integer, then it is taken as an
       open file descriptor, and a record of all allocations is written to that descriptor.  If
       an allocation will fail, and the platform supports it, then a backtrace will be written to
       the descriptor.  This can be useful because a malloc may fail but not be checked, and
       problems will only occur later.  The following example in classic shell syntax shows how
       to use this (will not work on all platforms):

         OPENSSL_MALLOC_FAILURES='200;@10'
         export OPENSSL_MALLOC_FAILURES
         OPENSSL_MALLOC_FD=3
         export OPENSSL_MALLOC_FD
         ...app invocation... 3>/tmp/log$$

RETURN VALUES

       OPENSSL_malloc_init(), OPENSSL_free(), OPENSSL_clear_free() CRYPTO_free(),
       CRYPTO_clear_free() and CRYPTO_get_mem_functions() return no value.

       OPENSSL_malloc(), OPENSSL_zalloc(), OPENSSL_realloc(), OPENSSL_clear_realloc(),
       CRYPTO_malloc(), CRYPTO_zalloc(), CRYPTO_realloc(), CRYPTO_clear_realloc(),
       OPENSSL_strdup(), and OPENSSL_strndup() return a pointer to allocated memory or NULL on
       error.

       CRYPTO_set_mem_functions() returns 1 on success or 0 on failure (almost always because
       allocations have already happened).

       CRYPTO_mem_leaks(), CRYPTO_mem_leaks_fp(), CRYPTO_mem_leaks_cb(), CRYPTO_set_mem_debug(),
       and CRYPTO_mem_ctrl() are deprecated and return -1.  OPENSSL_mem_debug_push(),
       OPENSSL_mem_debug_pop(), CRYPTO_mem_debug_push(), and CRYPTO_mem_debug_pop() are
       deprecated and return 0.

HISTORY

       OPENSSL_mem_debug_push(), OPENSSL_mem_debug_pop(), CRYPTO_mem_debug_push(),
       CRYPTO_mem_debug_pop(), CRYPTO_mem_leaks(), CRYPTO_mem_leaks_fp(), CRYPTO_mem_leaks_cb(),
       CRYPTO_set_mem_debug(), CRYPTO_mem_ctrl() were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.  The memory-leak
       checking has been deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0 in favor of clang's memory and leak sanitizer.
