SYNOPSIS

6          void
7          bson_zero_free (void *mem, size_t size);
8

PARAMETERS

10       • mem: A memory region.
11
12       • size: The size of mem.

DESCRIPTION

15       This function behaves like bson_free() except that it zeroes the memory
16       first. This can be useful if you are storing passwords or  other  simi‐
17       larly  important data. Note that if it truly is important, you probably
18       want a page protected with mlock() as well to prevent  it  swapping  to
19       disk.
