NAME

mbkalloc - mbk memory allocator

man2html: unable to open or read file man1/alc_origin.1

SYNOPSYS

 #include "mut.h"
 char *mbkalloc(bytes)
 unsigned int bytes;
 

PARAMETER

bytes

Number of memory bytes to be contiguously allocated

DESCRIPTION

mbkalloc returns a block of bytes length, for any purpose. It is now a day just an encapsulation of the system malloc function, but may evolve to a special allocator in the future. Its use is strongly encouraged.

Remark :

a global variable, long mbkalloc_stat, updates the number of allocated bytes, and may be accessed by anyone to see the amount of allocated memory.

RETURN VALUE

mbkalloc returns a pointer to a bytes long block.

ERROR

"*** mbk error *** mbkalloc impossible : not enough memory"

System break can't be moved anymore, no more memory can be retrieved from the system.

EXAMPLE

 #include "mut.h"
 char *dup_str(s);
 {
 char *t = (char *)mbkalloc(strlen(s) + (unsigned int)1);
    strcpy(t, s);
    return t;
 }
