    Sometimes when you need to allocate and construct a large,
    interconnected complex of structures, it can be a bit of a pain to
    release the associated memory again. For the structures describing the
    Z39.50 PDUs and related structures, it is convenient to use the
    memory-management system of the <acronym class="acronym">ODR</acronym> subsystem (see
    <a class="xref" href="odr.use.html" title="2. Using ODR">Section 2, &#8220;Using ODR&#8221;</a>). However, in some circumstances
    where you might otherwise benefit from using a simple nibble memory
    management system, it may be impractical to use
    <code class="function">odr_malloc()</code> and <code class="function">odr_reset()</code>.
    For this purpose, the memory manager which also supports the <acronym class="acronym">ODR</acronym>
    streams is made available in the NMEM module. The external interface
    to this module is given in the <code class="filename">nmem.h</code> file.
   </p><p>
    The following prototypes are given:
   </p><pre class="screen">
    NMEM nmem_create(void);
    void nmem_destroy(NMEM n);
    void *nmem_malloc(NMEM n, size_t size);
    void nmem_reset(NMEM n);
    size_t nmem_total(NMEM n);
    void nmem_init(void);
    void nmem_exit(void);
   </pre><p>
    The <code class="function">nmem_create()</code> function returns a pointer to a
    memory control handle, which can be released again by
    <code class="function">nmem_destroy()</code> when no longer needed.
    The function <code class="function">nmem_malloc()</code> allocates a block of
    memory of the requested size. A call to <code class="function">nmem_reset()</code>
    or <code class="function">nmem_destroy()</code> will release all memory allocated
    on the handle since it was created (or since the last call to
    <code class="function">nmem_reset()</code>. The function
    <code class="function">nmem_total()</code> returns the number of bytes currently
    allocated on the handle.
   </p><p>
    The nibble memory pool is shared amongst threads. POSIX
    mutex'es and WIN32 Critical sections are introduced to keep the
    module thread safe. Function <code class="function">nmem_init()</code>
    initializes the nibble memory library and it is called automatically
    the first time the <code class="literal">YAZ.DLL</code> is loaded. YAZ uses
    function <code class="function">DllMain</code> to achieve this. You should
    <span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span> call <code class="function">nmem_init</code> or
    <code class="function">nmem_exit</code> unless you're absolute sure what
    you're doing. Note that in previous YAZ versions you'd have to call
    <code class="function">nmem_init</code> yourself.
