In general, I don't object to the interface, but having the library
realloc() stuff sounds a bit on the risky side. The other library
routines all either fill in stuff, or allocate it themselves and provide
a routine to deallocate.
Perhaps it could return an error saying "size not big enough" and update
*size to be the necessary size, then the caller can expand the space and
try again?
