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

<p>The <code>BUF_MEM_new_ex()</code> function was added in OpenSSL 1.1.0.</p>
