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.
