BSON_ZERO_FREE(3)		     libbson		       BSON_ZERO_FREE(3)

SYNOPSIS
	void
	bson_zero_free (void *mem, size_t size);

PARAMETERS
     * mem: A memory region.

     * size: The size of mem.

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.
