NAME

       _TIFFmalloc, _TIFFrealloc, _TIFFfree, _TIFFmemset, _TIFFmemcpy, _TIFFmemcmp, - memory management-related functions for use with TIFF files

SYNOPSIS

       #include <tiffio.h>
       tdata_t _TIFFmalloc(tsize_t);
       tdata_t _TIFFrealloc(tdata_t, tsize_t);
       void _TIFFfree(tdata_t);
       void _TIFFmemset(tdata_t, int, tsize_t);
       void _TIFFmemcpy(tdata_t, const tdata_t, tsize_t);
       int _TIFFmemcmp(const tdata_t, const tdata_t, tsize_t);

DESCRIPTION

       These  routines are provided for writing portable software that uses libtiff; they hide any memory-management related issues, such as deal-
       ing 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 ANSI C  routines:  memset,  memcpy,  and
       memcmp, repsectively.

DIAGNOSTICS

       None.
