.. function:: void *bmemdup(const void *ptr, size_t size)

   Duplicates memory.

---------------------

.. function:: void *bzalloc(size_t size)

   Inline function that allocates zeroed memory.

---------------------

.. function:: char *bstrdup_n(const char *str, size_t n)
              wchar_t *bwstrdup_n(const wchar_t *str, size_t n)

   Duplicates a string of *n* bytes and automatically zero-terminates
   it.
