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 simi-
       larly 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.
