<p>BUF_MEM_new, BUF_MEM_new_ex, BUF_MEM_free, BUF_MEM_grow, BUF_MEM_grow_clean, BUF_reverse - simple character array structure</p>
<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>
<pre><code> #include <openssl/buffer.h>
BUF_MEM *BUF_MEM_new(void);
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);

<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>
<p>The buffer library handles simple character arrays. Buffers are used for various purposes in the library, most notably memory BIOs.</p>
<p>BUF_MEM_new() allocates a new buffer of zero size.</p>
<p>BUF_MEM_new_ex() allocates a buffer with the specified flags. The flag <b>BUF_MEM_FLAG_SECURE</b> specifies that the <b>data</b> pointer should be allocated on the secure heap; see <a href="../man3/CRYPTO_secure_malloc.html">CRYPTO_secure_malloc(3)</a>.</p>
<p>BUF_MEM_free() frees up an already existing buffer. The data is zeroed before freeing up in case the buffer contains sensitive data.</p>
<p>BUF_MEM_grow() changes the size of an already existing buffer to <b>len</b>. Any data already in the buffer is preserved if it increases in size.</p>
<p>BUF_MEM_grow_clean() is similar to BUF_MEM_grow() but it sets any free'd or additionally-allocated memory to zero.</p>
<p>BUF_reverse() reverses <b>size</b> bytes at <b>in</b> into <b>out</b>. If <b>in</b> is NULL, the array is reversed in-place.</p>
<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>
<p>BUF_MEM_new() returns the buffer or NULL on error.</p>
<p>BUF_MEM_free() has no return value.</p>
<p>BUF_MEM_grow() and BUF_MEM_grow_clean() return zero on error or the new size (i.e., <b>len</b>).</p>
