memfrob(3) Library Functions Manual memfrob(3)
NAME
memfrob - frobnicate (obfuscate) a memory area
LIBRARY
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#define _GNU_SOURCE /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
#include <string.h>
void *memfrob(void s[.n], size_t n);
DESCRIPTION
The memfrob() function obfuscates 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 obfuscated 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 obfuscated memory area.
