firestring_malloc(3) Library Functions Manual firestring_malloc(3)NAME
firestring_malloc - malloc(3) with internal result checking
SYNOPSIS
#include <firestring.h>
-lfirestring
void *firestring_malloc(const size_t size)
DESCRIPTION
firestring_malloc() acts exactly like malloc(3) except that it detects malloc failures, prints an error and exit(3) with exit status
EXIT_FAILURE. In most programs, malloc failures are unrecoverable, and this is the preferred behaviour.
RETURN VALUE
If firestring_malloc() returns, it always returns a new memory area of size bytes. It never returns NULL.

DESCRIPTION
The malloc_create_zone() function creates a malloc zone, advising an initial allocation of start_size bytes, and specifying flags that alter
the standard behavior of the zone. The returned malloc zone can be used to provide custom allocation and deallocation behavior, and to
retrieve additional information about the allocations in that zone.
The malloc_destroy_zone() function deallocates all memory associated with objects in zone as well as zone itself.
The malloc_default_zone() function returns the default system malloc zone, used by malloc(3), and free(3).
The malloc_zone_from_ptr() function returns a pointer to the malloc zone which contains ptr or NULL, if the pointer does not point to an
allocated object in any current malloc zone.
The malloc_zone_malloc(), malloc_zone_calloc(), malloc_zone_valloc(), malloc_zone_realloc(), malloc_zone_memalign(), and malloc_zone_free()
perform the same task on zone as their non-prefixed variants, malloc(3), calloc(3), valloc(3), realloc(3), posix_memalign(3), and free(3)
perform on the default system malloc zone.
RETURN VALUES
The malloc_create_zone(), malloc_default_zone(), and malloc_zone_from_ptr() functions return a pointer to a malloc_zone_t structure, or NULL
if there was an error.
The malloc_zone_malloc(), malloc_zone_calloc(), malloc_zone_valloc(), malloc_zone_realloc(), and malloc_zone_memalign() functions return a
pointer to allocated memory. If there is an error, they return a NULL pointer. They are not required to set errno.
