.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
These routines are used to allocate/deallocate memory used/returned
.BR lber-encode (3)
and
.BR lber-decode (3).
+.BR ber_memalloc (),
+.BR ber_memcalloc (),
+.BR ber_memrealloc (),
+and
+.BR ber_memfree ()
+are used exactly like the standard
+.BR malloc (3),
+.BR calloc (3),
+.BR realloc (3),
+and
+.BR free (3)
+routines, respectively. The
+.BR ber_memvfree ()
+routine is used to free a dynamically allocated array of pointers to
+arbitrary dynamically allocated objects.
