ber_memalloc, ber_memcalloc, ber_memrealloc, ber_memfree, ber_memvfree - OpenLDAP LBER memory allocators OpenLDAP LBER (liblber, -llber) #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 ");"

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.
