51 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
52 | These routines are provided for writing portable software that uses | |
53 | .IR libtiff ; | |
54 | they hide any memory-management related issues, such as dealing with segmented | |
55 | architectures found on 16-bit machines. | |
56 | .PP | |
57 | .I _TIFFmalloc | |
58 | and | |
59 | .I _TIFFrealloc | |
60 | are used to dynamically allocate and reallocate memory used by | |
61 | .IR libtiff ; | |
62 | such as memory passed into the I/O routines. Memory allocated through these | |
63 | interfaces is released back to the system using the | |
64 | .I _TIFFfree | |
65 | routine. | |
66 | .PP | |
67 | Memory allocated through one of the above interfaces can be set to a known | |
68 | value using | |
69 | .IR _TIFFmemset , | |
70 | copied to another memory location using | |
71 | .IR _TIFFmemcpy , | |
72 | or compared for equality using | |
73 | .IR _TIFFmemcmp . | |
74 | These routines conform to the equivalent | |
75 | .SM ANSI | |
76 | C routines: | |
77 | .IR memset , | |
78 | .IR memcpy , | |
79 | and | |
80 | .IR memcmp , | |
81 | repsectively. | |
82 | .SH DIAGNOSTICS | |
83 | None. | |
