# bson_realloc()

## Synopsis

    void *
    bson_realloc (void *mem, size_t num_bytes);

## Parameters

- `mem`: A memory region.
- `num_bytes`: A size_t containing the new requested size.

## Description

This is a portable `realloc()` wrapper.

In general, this function will return an allocation at least `sizeof(void*)` bytes or bigger. If `num_bytes` is 0, then the allocation will be freed.

If there was a failure to allocate `num_bytes` bytes, the process will be aborted.

## Returns

A pointer to a memory region which HAS NOT been zeroed.
