MEMORY(3T)
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 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 ANSI C routines: memset, memcpy, and memcmp,
repsectively.
DIAGNOSTICS
- None.
