- NAME
- xmalloc() - get memory or bust
- INDEX
- xmalloc() uses malloc()
-
- SYNOPSIS
- char * my_memory;
-
- my_memory = xmalloc(42); / * my_memory gets address of 42 chars * /
-
- DESCRIPTION
-
- Use xmalloc() as an "error-free" malloc(). It does almost the same job.
- When it cannot honour your request for memory it BOMBS your program
- with a "virtual memory exceeded" message. Malloc() returns NULL and
- does not bomb your program.
-
- SEE ALSO
- malloc()
