- .SH "DESCRIPTION"
- .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
- OpenSSL memory allocation is handled by the \fBOPENSSL_xxx\fR \s-1API.\s0 These are
- generally macro's that add the standard C \fB_\|_FILE_\|_\fR and \fB_\|_LINE_\|_\fR
- parameters and call a lower-level \fBCRYPTO_xxx\fR \s-1API.\s0
- Some functions do not add those parameters, but exist for consistency.
- .PP
- \&\fBOPENSSL_malloc_init()\fR does nothing and does not need to be called. It is
- included for compatibility with older versions of OpenSSL.
- .PP
- \&\fBOPENSSL_malloc()\fR, \fBOPENSSL_realloc()\fR, and \fBOPENSSL_free()\fR are like the
- C \fBmalloc()\fR, \fBrealloc()\fR, and \fBfree()\fR functions.
- \&\fBOPENSSL_zalloc()\fR calls \fBmemset()\fR to zero the memory before returning.
- .PP
- \&\fBOPENSSL_clear_realloc()\fR and \fBOPENSSL_clear_free()\fR should be used
- when the buffer at \fBaddr\fR holds sensitive information.
- The old buffer is filled with zero's by calling \fBOPENSSL_cleanse()\fR
- before ultimately calling \fBOPENSSL_free()\fR. If the argument to \fBOPENSSL_free()\fR is
- \&\s-1NULL,\s0 nothing is done.
- .PP
- \&\fBOPENSSL_cleanse()\fR fills \fBptr\fR of size \fBlen\fR with a string of 0's.
- Use \fBOPENSSL_cleanse()\fR with care if the memory is a mapping of a file.
- If the storage controller uses write compression, then it's possible
- that sensitive tail bytes will survive zeroization because the block of
- zeros will be compressed. If the storage controller uses wear leveling,
- then the old sensitive data will not be overwritten; rather, a block of
- 0's will be written at a new physical location.
- .PP
- \&\fBOPENSSL_strdup()\fR, \fBOPENSSL_strndup()\fR and \fBOPENSSL_memdup()\fR are like the
- equivalent C functions, except that memory is allocated by calling the
- \&\fBOPENSSL_malloc()\fR and should be released by calling \fBOPENSSL_free()\fR.
- .PP
- \&\fBOPENSSL_strlcpy()\fR,
- \&\fBOPENSSL_strlcat()\fR and \fBOPENSSL_strnlen()\fR are equivalents of the common C
- library functions and are provided for portability.
- .PP
- If no allocations have been done, it is possible to \*(L"swap out\*(R" the default
- implementations for \fBOPENSSL_malloc()\fR, \fBOPENSSL_realloc()\fR and \fBOPENSSL_free()\fR
- and replace them with alternate versions.
- \&\fBCRYPTO_get_mem_functions()\fR function fills in the given arguments with the
- function pointers for the current implementations.
- With \fBCRYPTO_set_mem_functions()\fR, you can specify a different set of functions.
- If any of \fBmalloc_fn\fR, \fBrealloc_fn\fR, or \fBfree_fn\fR are \s-1NULL,\s0 then
- the function is not changed.
- While it's permitted to swap out only a few and not all the functions
- with \fBCRYPTO_set_mem_functions()\fR, it's recommended to swap them all out
- at once.
- .PP
- If the library is built with the \f(CW\*(C`crypto\-mdebug\*(C'\fR option, then one
- function, \fBCRYPTO_get_alloc_counts()\fR, and two additional environment
- variables, \fB\s-1OPENSSL_MALLOC_FAILURES\s0\fR and \fB\s-1OPENSSL_MALLOC_FD\s0\fR,
- are available.
- .PP
- The function \fBCRYPTO_get_alloc_counts()\fR fills in the number of times
- each of \fBCRYPTO_malloc()\fR, \fBCRYPTO_realloc()\fR, and \fBCRYPTO_free()\fR have been
- called, into the values pointed to by \fBmcount\fR, \fBrcount\fR, and \fBfcount\fR,
- respectively. If a pointer is \s-1NULL,\s0 then the corresponding count is not stored.
- .PP
- The variable
- \&\fB\s-1OPENSSL_MALLOC_FAILURES\s0\fR controls how often allocations should fail.
- It is a set of fields separated by semicolons, which each field is a count
- (defaulting to zero) and an optional atsign and percentage (defaulting
- to 100). If the count is zero, then it lasts forever. For example,
- \&\f(CW\*(C`100;@25\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`100@0;0@25\*(C'\fR means the first 100 allocations pass, then all
- other allocations (until the program exits or crashes) have a 25% chance of
- failing.
- .PP
- If the variable \fB\s-1OPENSSL_MALLOC_FD\s0\fR is parsed as a positive integer, then
- it is taken as an open file descriptor. This is used in conjunction with
- \&\fB\s-1OPENSSL_MALLOC_FAILURES\s0\fR described above. For every allocation it will log
- details about how many allocations there have been so far, what percentage
- chance there is for this allocation failing, and whether it has actually failed.
- The following example in classic shell syntax shows how to use this (will not
- work on all platforms):
- .PP
