=head1 DESCRIPTION
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.
More secure storage of key material. Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible). Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc. Add BIO_CTX_secure_new so all BIGNUM's in the context are secure.

BUF_MEM_new_ex() allocates a buffer with the specified flags.
The flag B<BUF_MEM_FLAG_SECURE> specifies that the B<data> pointer
should be allocated on the secure heap; see L<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
B<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.

=head1 HISTORY
man: harmonize the various formulations in the HISTORY sections While stereotyped repetitions are frowned upon in literature, they serve a useful purpose in manual pages, because it is easier for the user to find certain information if it is always presented in the same way. For that reason, this commit harmonizes the varying formulations in the HISTORY section about which functions, flags, etc. were added in which OpenSSL version. It also attempts to make the pod files more grep friendly by avoiding to insert line breaks between the symbol names and the corresponding version number in which they were introduced (wherever possible). Some punctuation and typographical errors were fixed on the way. Reviewed-by: Tim Hudson <tjh@openssl.org> (Merged from https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/7854)
