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.
