MEMFROB(3)		   Linux Programmer's Manual		    MEMFROB(3)

NAME
       memfrob - frobnicate (encrypt) a memory area

SYNOPSIS
       #define _GNU_SOURCE	       /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
       #include <string.h>

       void *memfrob(void *s, size_t n);

DESCRIPTION
       The  memfrob() function encrypts the first n bytes of the memory area s
       by exclusive-ORing each character with the number 42.  The  effect  can
       be reversed by using memfrob() on the encrypted memory area.

       Note  that  this function is not a proper encryption routine as the XOR
       constant is fixed, and is suitable only for hiding strings.

RETURN VALUE
       The memfrob() function returns a pointer to the encrypted memory area.

CONFORMING TO
       The memfrob() function is unique to the GNU C Library.
