-BUF_strdup() copies a null terminated string into a block of allocated
-memory and returns a pointer to the allocated block.
-Unlike the standard C library strdup() this function uses OPENSSL_malloc() and so
-should be used in preference to the standard library strdup() because it can

+BUF_strdup(), BUF_strndup(), BUF_memdup(), BUF_strlcpy() and
