                      6: to Both Server And Browser</H1>This module is the interface to the
                      7: common parts of Access Authorization
                      8: (AA) package for both server and
                      9: browser. Important to know about
                     10: memory allocation:<P>
                     11: Routines in this module use dynamic
                     12: allocation, but free automatically
                     13: all the memory reserved by them.<P>
                     14: Therefore the caller never has to
                     15: (and never should) free() any object
                     16: returned by these functions.<P>
                     17: Therefore also all the strings returned
                     18: by this package are only valid until
                     19: the next call to the same function
                     20: is made. This approach is selected,
                     21: because of the nature of access authorization:
                     22: no string returned by the package
                     23: needs to be valid longer than until
                     24: the next call.<P>
                     25: This also makes it easy to plug the
                     26: AA package in: you don't have to
                     27: ponder whether to free() something
                     28: here or is it done somewhere else
                     29: (because it is always done somewhere
                     30: else).<P>
                     31: The strings that the package needs
                     32: to store are copied so the original
                     33: strings given as parameters to AA
                     34: functions may be freed or modified
                     35: with no side effects.<P>
                     36: Also note: The AA package does not
                     37: free() anything else than what it
                     38: has itself allocated.
