Rename BUF_{strdup,strlcat,strlcpy,memdup,strndup,strnlen}
to OPENSSL_{strdup,strlcat,strlcpy,memdup,strndup,strnlen}
Add #define's for the old names.
Add CRYPTO_{memdup,strndup}, called by OPENSSL_{memdup,strndup} macros.

=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
#include <openssl/buffer.h>
|
|
|
|
BUF_MEM *BUF_MEM_new(void);
|
|
|
|
#define BUF_MEM_FLAG_SECURE
|
|
|
|
BUF_MEM *BUF_MEM_new_ex(unsigned long flags);
|
|

void BUF_MEM_free(BUF_MEM *a);
|
|
|
|
int BUF_MEM_grow(BUF_MEM *str, int len);
|

|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The buffer library handles simple character arrays. Buffers are used for
|
|
various purposes in the library, most notably memory BIOs.
|
|
|
|
BUF_MEM_new() allocates a new buffer of zero size.
|
|
|
|
BUF_MEM_new_ex() allocates a buffer with the specified flags.
|
|
The flag B<BUF_MEM_FLAG_SECURE> specifies that the B<data> pointer
|
|
should be allocated on the secure heap; see L<CRYPTO_secure_malloc(3)>.
|
|
|
|
BUF_MEM_free() frees up an already existing buffer. The data is zeroed
|
|
before freeing up in case the buffer contains sensitive data.
|
|
|
|
BUF_MEM_grow() changes the size of an already existing buffer to
|
|
B<len>. Any data already in the buffer is preserved if it increases in
|
|
size.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
BUF_MEM_new() returns the buffer or NULL on error.
|
|
|
|
BUF_MEM_free() has no return value.
|
|
|
|
BUF_MEM_grow() returns zero on error or the new size (i.e. B<len>).

=head1 HISTORY
|
|
|
|
BUF_MEM_new_ex() was added in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
