The \f(CW\*(C`minsize\*(C'\fR parameter is the minimum size to +allocate from the heap or zero to use a reasonable default value. +Both \f(CW\*(C`size\*(C'\fR and, if specified, \f(CW\*(C`minsize\*(C'\fR must be a power of two and +\&\f(CW\*(C`minsize\*(C'\fR should generally be small, for example 16 or 32. +\&\f(CW\*(C`minsize\*(C'\fR must be less than a quarter of \f(CW\*(C`size\*(C'\fR in any case. +.PP +\&\fBCRYPTO_secure_malloc_initialized()\fR indicates whether or not the secure +heap as been initialized and is available. +.PP +\&\fBCRYPTO_secure_malloc_done()\fR releases the heap and makes the memory unavailable +to the process if all secure memory has been freed. +It can take noticeably long to complete. +.PP +\&\fBOPENSSL_secure_malloc()\fR allocates \f(CW\*(C`num\*(C'\fR bytes from the heap. +If \fBCRYPTO_secure_malloc_init()\fR is not called, this is equivalent to +calling \fBOPENSSL_malloc()\fR. +It is a macro that expands to +\&\fBCRYPTO_secure_malloc()\fR and adds the \f(CW\*(C`_\|_FILE_\|_\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`_\|_LINE_\|_\*(C'\fR parameters. +.PP +\&\fBOPENSSL_secure_zalloc()\fR and \fBCRYPTO_secure_zalloc()\fR are like +\&\fBOPENSSL_secure_malloc()\fR and \fBCRYPTO_secure_malloc()\fR, respectively, +except that they call \fBmemset()\fR to zero the memory before returning. +.PP +\&\fBOPENSSL_secure_free()\fR releases the memory at \f(CW\*(C`ptr\*(C'\fR back to the heap. +It must be called with a value previously obtained from +\&\fBOPENSSL_secure_malloc()\fR. +If \fBCRYPTO_secure_malloc_init()\fR is not called, this is equivalent to +calling \fBOPENSSL_free()\fR. +It exists for consistency with \fBOPENSSL_secure_malloc()\fR , and +is a macro that expands to \fBCRYPTO_secure_free()\fR and adds the \f(CW\*(C`_\|_FILE_\|_\*(C'\fR +and \f(CW\*(C`_\|_LINE_\|_\*(C'\fR parameters.. +.PP +\&\fBOPENSSL_secure_clear_free()\fR is similar to \fBOPENSSL_secure_free()\fR except +that it has an additional \f(CW\*(C`num\*(C'\fR parameter which is used to clear +the memory if it was not allocated from the secure heap. +If \fBCRYPTO_secure_malloc_init()\fR is not called, this is equivalent to +calling \fBOPENSSL_clear_free()\fR. +.PP +\&\fBOPENSSL_secure_actual_size()\fR tells the actual size allocated to the +pointer; implementations may allocate more space than initially +requested, in order to \*(L"round up\*(R" and reduce secure heap fragmentation. +.PP +\&\fBOPENSSL_secure_allocated()\fR tells if a pointer is allocated in the secure heap. +.PP +\&\fBCRYPTO_secure_used()\fR returns the number of bytes allocated in the +secure heap. +.SH "RETURN VALUES" +.IX Header "RETURN VALUES" +\&\fBCRYPTO_secure_malloc_init()\fR returns 0 on failure, 1 if successful, +and 2 if successful but the heap could not be protected by memory +mapping. +.PP +\&\fBCRYPTO_secure_malloc_initialized()\fR returns 1 if the secure heap is +available (that is, if \fBCRYPTO_secure_malloc_init()\fR has been called, +but \fBCRYPTO_secure_malloc_done()\fR has not been called or failed) or 0 if not. +.PP +\&\fBOPENSSL_secure_malloc()\fR and \fBOPENSSL_secure_zalloc()\fR return a pointer into +the secure heap of the requested size, or \f(CW\*(C`NULL\*(C'\fR if memory could not be +allocated. +.PP +\&\fBCRYPTO_secure_allocated()\fR returns 1 if the pointer is in the secure heap, or 0 if not. +.PP +\&\fBCRYPTO_secure_malloc_done()\fR returns 1 if the secure memory area is released, or 0 if not. +.PP +\&\fBOPENSSL_secure_free()\fR and \fBOPENSSL_secure_clear_free()\fR return no values. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.IX Header "SEE ALSO" +\&\fBOPENSSL_malloc\fR\|(3), +\&\fBBN_new\fR\|(3) +.SH "HISTORY" +.IX Header "HISTORY" +The \fBOPENSSL_secure_clear_free()\fR function was added in OpenSSL 1.1.0g. +.PP +The second argument to \fBCRYPTO_secure_malloc_init()\fR was changed from an \fBint\fR to +a \fBsize_t\fR in OpenSSL 3.0. +.SH "COPYRIGHT" +.IX Header "COPYRIGHT" +Copyright 2015\-2020 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
