62 <p>These routines are provided for writing portable software
63 that uses <i>libtiff</i>; they hide any memory-management
64 related issues, such as dealing with segmented architectures
65 found on 16-bit machines.</p>
67 <p><i>_TIFFmalloc</i> and <i>_TIFFrealloc</i> are used to
68 dynamically allocate and reallocate memory used by
69 <i>libtiff</i>; such as memory passed into the I/O routines.
70 Memory allocated through these interfaces is released back
71 to the system using the <i>_TIFFfree</i> routine.</p>
73 <p>Memory allocated through one of the above interfaces can
74 be set to a known value using <i>_TIFFmemset</i>, copied to
75 another memory location using <i>_TIFFmemcpy</i>, or
76 compared for equality using <i>_TIFFmemcmp</i>. These
77 routines conform to the equivalent <small>ANSI</small> C
78 routines: <i>memset</i>, <i>memcpy</i>, and <i>memcmp</i>,
