The .BR ber_memvfree () routine is used to free a dynamically allocated array of pointers to arbitrary dynamically allocated objects. .SH SEE ALSO .BR lber-decode (3), .BR lber-encode (3), .BR lber-types (3) .LP .SH ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS .B OpenLDAP is developed and maintained by The OpenLDAP Project (http://www.openldap.org/). .B OpenLDAP is derived from University of Michigan LDAP 3.3 Release.
