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