+ * \brief Allocates and initializes a new lzma_memlimit structure

+ * It is easy to make liblzma to use huge amounts of memory. This can
+ * be a problem especially with the decoder, since it a file requiring
+ * huge amounts of memory to uncompress could allow even a denial of
+ * service attack if the memory usage wasn't limited.
+ *
+ * liblzma provides a set of functions to control memory usage. Pointers
+ * to these functions can be used in lzma_allocator structure, which makes
+ * it easy to limit memory usage with liblzma.
+ *
+ * The memory limitter functions are not tied to limitting memory usage
+ * with liblzma itself. You can use them with anything you like.
+ *
+ * In multi-threaded applications, only one thread at once may use the same
+ * lzma_memlimit structure. If there is a need, this limitation may
+ * be removed in future versions without breaking the libary API/ABI.
+ *
+ * \param limit Initial memory usage limit in bytes
+ *
+ * \return Pointer to allocated and initialized lzma_memlimit
+ * structure. On error, NULL is returned. The reason behind
+ * an error is either that malloc() failed or that the given
+ * limit was so small that it didn't allow allocating even
+ * the lzma_memlimit structure itself.
+ *
+ * \note Excluding lzma_memlimit_usage(), the functions whose name begin
+ * lzma_memlimit_ can be used even if lzma_init() hasn't been
+ * called.
