This documentation contains instructions to use hardened_malloc memory allocator as the system's default memory allocator. These instructions apply to both musl and - glibc C libraries on Unix-based and Unix-like systems.
+ glibc C libraries on Linux-based systems.hardened_malloc can also be used per-application and/or per-user, in which case root permissions are not required; this documentation focuses on system-wide usage of hardened_malloc, assumes root privileges, and assumes the compiled library will be located in a path readable and executable by all users of the system.
+This documentation uses
+ Linux Filesystem Hierarchy Standard
+ paths, with the modern /usr/ merge approach of most Linux distributions. For non-standard
+ configurations, adjust the paths accordingly.
