LDAP_MEMORY(3) Library Functions ManualLDAP_MEMORY(3)ldap_memfree, ldap_memvfree, ldap_memalloc, ldap_memcalloc, ldap_memrealloc, ldap_strdup - LDAP memory allocation routines
OpenLDAP LDAP (libldap, -lldap)
#include <ldap.h>void ldap_memfree(void *p);void ldap_memvfree(void **v);void *ldap_memalloc(ber_len_ts);void *ldap_memcalloc(ber_len_tn, ber_len_ts);void *ldap_memrealloc(void *p, ber_len_ts);char *ldap_strdup(LDAP_CONST char *p);
These routines are used to allocate/deallocate memory used/returned by the LDAP library.ldap_memalloc(),ldap_memcalloc(),ldap_memrealloc(), andldap_memfree() are used exactly like the standardmalloc(3),calloc(3),realloc(3), andfree(3) routines, respectively. Theldap_memvfree() routine is used to free a dynamically allocated array of pointers to arbitrary dynamically allocated objects. Theldap_strdup() routine is used exactly like the standardstrdup(3) routine.
