TIFFMEMORY(3tiff) LibTIFF TIFFMEMORY(3tiff) NAME TIFFmemory - memory management-related functions for use with TIFF files SYNOPSIS #include <tiffio.h> tdata_t _TIFFmalloc(tsize_t size) tdata_t _TIFFrealloc(tdata_t buffer, tsize_t size) void _TIFFfree(tdata_t buffer) void _TIFFmemset(tdata_t s, int c, tsize_t n) void _TIFFmemcpy(tdata_t dest, const tdata_t src, tsize_t n) int _TIFFmemcmp(const tdata_t s1, const tdata_ts2, tsize_t n) void *_TIFFCheckMalloc(TIFF *tif, tmsize_t nmemb, tmsize_t elem_size, const char *what) void *_TIFFCheckRealloc(TIFF *tif, void *buffer, tmsize_t nmemb, tmsize_t elem_size, const char *what) DESCRIPTION These routines are provided for writing portable software that uses libtiff; they hide any memory-management related issues, such as dealing with segmented architectures found on 16-bit machines. _TIFFmalloc() and _TIFFrealloc() are used to dynamically allocate and reallocate memory used by libtiff; such as memory passed into the I/O routines. Memory allocated through these interfaces is released back to the system using the _TIFFfree() routine. Memory allocated through one of the above interfaces can be set to a known value using _TIFFmemset(), copied to another memory location using _TIFFmemcpy(), or compared for equality using _TIFFmemcmp(). These routines conform to the equivalent C routines: memset(), memcpy(), memcmp(), respectively. _TIFFCheckMalloc() and _TIFFCheckRealloc() are checking for integer overflow before calling _TIFFmalloc() and _TIFFrealloc(), respectively. DIAGNOSTICS None. SEE ALSO malloc (3), memory (3), libtiff (3tiff) AUTHOR LibTIFF contributors COPYRIGHT 1988-2022, LibTIFF contributors
