These routines are provided for writing portable software that uses \fBlibtiff\fR\&. The routines hide any memory-management-related issues,
such as dealing with segmented architectures found on 16-bit machines\&.
.PP
\fB_TIFFmalloc\fR and \fB_TIFFrealloc\fR are
used to dynamically allocate and reallocate memory used by \fBlibtiff\fR, such as memory passed into the I/O routines\&.
.PP
Memory allocated through these interfaces is released back to the system
using the \fB_TIFFfree\fR routine\&. Memory allocated through one
of the above interfaces can be set to a known value using \fB_TIFFmemset\fR, copied to another memory location using \fB_TIFFmemcpy\fR,
or compared for equality using \fB_TIFFmemcmp\fR\&. These routines
conform to the equivalent ANSI C routines: \fBmemset\fR, \fBmemcpy\fR, and \fBmemcmp\fR, respectively\&.
