.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
These routines allocate and free memory.
|
|
On failure, they print an error message and call
|
|
.IR sysfatal
|
|
(from
|
|
.IR perror (2)).
|
|
They do not return.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Vtbrk
|
|
returns a pointer to a new, permanently allocated block of at least
|
|
.I size
|
|
bytes.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.IR Vtmalloc ,
|
|
.IR vtrealloc ,
|
|
and
|
|
.I vtstrdup
|
|
are like
|
|
.IR malloc ,
|
|
.IR realloc ,
|
|
and
|
|
.IR strdup ,
|
|
but, as noted above, do not return on error.
|
|
.I Vtmallocz
|
|
is like
|
|
.I vtmalloc
|
|
but zeros the block before returning it.
|
|
Memory allocated with all four should be freed with
|
|
.I vtfree
|
|
when no longer needed.
