  161. .SH "DESCRIPTION"
  162. .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
  163. The buffer library handles simple character arrays. Buffers are used for
  164. various purposes in the library, most notably memory BIOs.
  165. .PP
  166. \&\fBBUF_MEM_new()\fR allocates a new buffer of zero size.
  167. .PP
  168. \&\fBBUF_MEM_new_ex()\fR allocates a buffer with the specified flags.
  169. The flag \fB\s-1BUF_MEM_FLAG_SECURE\s0\fR specifies that the \fBdata\fR pointer
  170. should be allocated on the secure heap; see \fBCRYPTO_secure_malloc\fR\|(3).
  171. .PP
  172. \&\fBBUF_MEM_free()\fR frees up an already existing buffer. The data is zeroed
  173. before freeing up in case the buffer contains sensitive data.
  174. If the argument is \s-1NULL,\s0 nothing is done.
  175. .PP
  176. \&\fBBUF_MEM_grow()\fR changes the size of an already existing buffer to
  177. \&\fBlen\fR. Any data already in the buffer is preserved if it increases in
  178. size.
  179. .PP
  180. \&\fBBUF_MEM_grow_clean()\fR is similar to \fBBUF_MEM_grow()\fR but it sets any free'd
  181. or additionally-allocated memory to zero.
  182. .PP
  183. \&\fBBUF_reverse()\fR reverses \fBsize\fR bytes at \fBin\fR into \fBout\fR. If \fBin\fR
  184. is \s-1NULL,\s0 the array is reversed in-place.
  185. .SH "RETURN VALUES"
  186. .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
  187. \&\fBBUF_MEM_new()\fR returns the buffer or \s-1NULL\s0 on error.
  188. .PP
  189. \&\fBBUF_MEM_free()\fR has no return value.
  190. .PP
  191. \&\fBBUF_MEM_grow()\fR and \fBBUF_MEM_grow_clean()\fR return
  192. zero on error or the new size (i.e., \fBlen\fR).
