NAME

6       bson_zero_free - bson_zero_free()
7

SYNOPSIS

9          void
10          bson_zero_free (void *mem, size_t size);
11

PARAMETERS

13       · mem: A memory region.
14
15       · size: The size of mem.
16

DESCRIPTION

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