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 CRYPTO_secure_malloc(3).
BUF_MEM_free() frees up an already existing buffer. The data is zeroed before freeing up in case the buffer contains sensitive data.
BUF_MEM_grow() changes the size of an already existing buffer to len. Any data already in the buffer is preserved if it increases in size.
BUF_MEM_grow_clean() is similar to BUF_MEM_grow() but it sets any free'd or additionally-allocated memory to zero.
BUF_reverse() reverses size bytes at in into out. If in is NULL, the array is reversed in-place.
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).
