.SH SYNOPSIS
.B "#include <tiffio.h>"
.sp
.BI "tdata_t _TIFFmalloc(tsize_t " size ");"
.br
.BI "tdata_t _TIFFrealloc(tdata_t " buffer ", tsize_t " size ");"

.br
.BI "void _TIFFmemset(tdata_t " s ", int " c ", tsize_t " n ");"
.br
.BI "void _TIFFmemcpy(tdata_t " dest ", const tdata_t " src ", tsize_t " n ");"
.br
.BI "int _TIFFmemcmp(const tdata_t " s1 ", const tdata_t "s2 ", tsize_t " n ");"
.SH DESCRIPTION
These routines are provided for writing portable software that uses
.IR libtiff ;
they hide any memory-management related issues, such as dealing with segmented
architectures found on 16-bit machines.
.PP
.I _TIFFmalloc
and
.I _TIFFrealloc
are used to dynamically allocate and reallocate memory used by
.IR libtiff ;
such as memory passed into the I/O routines. Memory allocated through these
interfaces is released back to the system using the
.I _TIFFfree
routine.
.PP
Memory allocated through one of the above interfaces can be set to a known
value using
.IR _TIFFmemset ,
copied to another memory location using
.IR _TIFFmemcpy ,
or compared for equality using
.IR _TIFFmemcmp .
These routines conform to the equivalent
.SM ANSI
C routines:
.IR memset ,
.IR memcpy ,
and
.IR memcmp ,
repsectively.
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
None.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.BR malloc (3),
.BR memory (3),
