NAME

6       gnutls_global_set_mem_functions - This function sets the memory alloca‐
7       tion functions
8

SYNOPSIS

10       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
11
12       void gnutls_global_set_mem_functions(gnutls_alloc_function  alloc_func,
13       gnutls_alloc_function      secure_alloc_func, gnutls_is_secure_function
14       is_secure_func, gnutls_realloc_function realloc_func, gnutls_free_func‐
15       tion free_func);
16

ARGUMENTS

18       gnutls_alloc_function alloc_func
19                   it's the default memory allocation function. Like malloc().
20
21       gnutls_alloc_function      secure_alloc_func
22                   This  is  the  memory allocation function that will be used
23                   for sensitive data.
24
25       gnutls_is_secure_function      is_secure_func
26                   a function that returns  0  if  the  memory  given  is  not
27                   secure. May be NULL.
28
29       gnutls_realloc_function realloc_func
30                   A realloc function
31
32       gnutls_free_function free_func
33                   The  function that frees allocated data. Must accept a NULL
34                   pointer.
35

DESCRIPTION

37       This is the function were  you  set  the  memory  allocation  functions
38       gnutls  is  going  to  use.  By default the libc's allocation functions
39       (malloc(), free()), are used by gnutls, to allocate both sensitive  and
40       not  sensitive data.  This function is provided to set the memory allo‐
41       cation functions to something other than the defaults  (ie  the  gcrypt
42       allocation functions).
43
44       This function must be called before gnutls_global_init() is called.
