NAME
       ber_memalloc, ber_memcalloc, ber_memrealloc, ber_memfree, ber_memvfree
       - LBER memory allocators

LIBRARY
       OpenLDAP LBER (liblber, -llber)

SYNOPSIS
       #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);

DESCRIPTION
       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.
