     _TIFFmalloc, _TIFFrealloc,	_TIFFfree, _TIFFmemset,	_TIFFmemcpy,
     _TIFFmemcmp, - memory management-related functions	for use	with TIFF
     files

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     #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    [Toc]    [Back]

     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    [Toc]    [Back]

     None.
