1.30.4 Jun 08, 2025 BSON_ZERO_FREE(3)
Description
This function behaves like bson_free() except that it zeroes the memory first. This can be useful if you
are storing passwords or other similarly important data. Note that if it truly is important, you probably
want a page protected with mlock() as well to prevent it swapping to disk.
Parameters
• mem: A memory region.
• size: The size of mem.
Synopsis
void
bson_zero_free (void *mem, size_t size);
