The effect can be reversed by using memfrob() on the encrypted memory area. Note that this function is not a proper encryption routine as the XOR constant is fixed, and is only suitable for hiding strings. RETURN VALUE The memfrob() function returns a pointer to the encrypted memory area. CONFORMING TO The memfrob() function is unique to the Linux C Library and GNU C Library.
