NAME
       gnutls_global_set_mem_functions - set the memory allocation functions

SYNOPSIS
       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       void  gnutls_global_set_mem_functions(gnutls_alloc_function alloc_func,
       gnutls_alloc_function   secure_alloc_func,    gnutls_is_secure_function
       is_secure_func, gnutls_realloc_function realloc_func, gnutls_free_func-
       tion free_func);

ARGUMENTS
       gnutls_alloc_function alloc_func

		   it's the default memory allocation function. Like malloc().

       gnutls_alloc_function secure_alloc_func

		   This  is  the  memory allocation function that will be used
		   for sensitive data.

       gnutls_is_secure_function is_secure_func

		   a function that returns  0  if  the	memory	given  is  not
		   secure. May be NULL.

       gnutls_realloc_function realloc_func

		   A realloc function

       gnutls_free_function free_func

		   The	function that frees allocated data. Must accept a NULL
		   pointer.

DESCRIPTION
       This is the function were  you  set  the  memory  allocation  functions
       gnutls  is  going  to  use.  By default the libc's allocation functions
       (malloc(), free()), are used by gnutls, to allocate both sensitive  and
       not  sensitive data.  This function is provided to set the memory allo-
       cation functions to something other than the defaults  (ie  the	gcrypt
       allocation functions).

       This  function  must  be  called before gnutls_global_init() is called.
       This function is not thread safe.
