+This all is not needed with global heap hints introduced in PR
+ (https://github.com/wolfSSL/wolfssl/pull/7478). For older versions of wolfSSL
+ and wolfSSH though WMALLOC_USER can be used to call a custom heap allocator
+ function that uses a set heap hint.
+
+This example will use a custom global heap hint in the SCP client by remapping
+ WMALLOC/WFREE calls.
+
+build.sh is a script to help build the example `./build.sh`.
+
+Once built run the exmaple wolfSSH echoserver from another terminal:
+
+`./examples/echoserver/echoserver -j ./keys/hansel-key-rsa.der`
+
+Then run the example scp client produced from `./build.sh`
