NAME

       mtree_init, mtree_free - initialize and free a merkle tree

LIBRARY

       Librecast library (liblibrecast, -llibrecast)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <librecast/mtree.h>

       int mtree_init(mtree_t *tree, size_t sz);
       void mtree_free(mtree_t *tree);

       Compile and link with -llibrecast.

DESCRIPTION

       The tree_init function initializes the merkle tree structure tree with base data size sz.  sz is the size
       in bytes of the base file or data which will be used to build the tree by calling mtree_build(3).

RETURN VALUE

       mtree_init() returns zero on success.  On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.

       The mtree_free() function returns no value, and preserves errno.

ERRORS

       ENOMEM Not enough space/cannot allocate memory (POSIX.1-2001).
