BUF_MEM_new, BUF_MEM_new_ex, BUF_MEM_free, BUF_MEM_grow, BUF_MEM_grow_clean, BUF_reverse - simple character array structure
standard C library equivalents
#include <openssl/buffer.h>
BUF_MEM *BUF_MEM_new(void);
BUF_MEM *BUF_MEM_new_ex(unsigned long flags);
void BUF_MEM_free(BUF_MEM *a);

void BUF_reverse(unsigned char *out, const unsigned char *in, size_t size);
The buffer library handles simple character arrays. Buffers are used for various purposes in the library, most notably memory BIOs.
BUF_MEM_new() allocates a new buffer of zero size.
BUF_MEM_new_ex() allocates a buffer with the specified flags. The flag BUF_MEM_FLAG_SECURE specifies that the data pointer should be allocated on the secure heap; see RETURN VALUES
BUF_MEM_new() returns the buffer or NULL on error. BUF_MEM_free() has no return value. BUF_MEM_grow() and BUF_MEM_grow_clean() return zero on error or the new size (i.e., len).
