SYNOPSIS

          void
          bson_zero_free (void *mem, size_t size);

PARAMETERS

       • mem: A memory region.

       • size: The size of mem.

DESCRIPTION

       This  function  behaves like bson_free() <> except that it zeroes the memory first. This can be useful if
       you are storing passwords or other similarly important data. Note that if  it  truly  is  important,  you
       probably want a page protected with mlock() as well to prevent it swapping to disk.
