NAME
       malloc, free, realloc, calloc, mallopt, mallinfo, alloca, valloc - Pro‐
       vides a memory allocator

DIGITAL UNIX SYNOPSIS
       #include <stdio.h> #include <malloc.h>

       void *malloc(
	       size_t size);

       #include <alloca.h> char *alloca(
	       int size);

       void free(
	       void ∗pointer);

       void *realloc(
	       void ∗pointer,
	       size_t size);

       int mallopt(
	       int command,
	       int value;

       struct mallinfo mallinfo(void);

       void *calloc(
	       size_t num_of_elts,
	       size_t elt_size);

       void *valloc(		/* libc.a version */
	       size_t size);	/* returns pointer to void */

       char *valloc(		/* libbsd.a */
	       size_t size);	/* returns pointer to char */

PARAMETERS
       Specifies a number of bytes of memory.  Points to the block  of	memory
       that  was  returned  by the malloc() or calloc() function.  Specifies a
       mallopt() function command.  Specifies M_MXFAST, M_NLBLKS, M_GRAIN,  or
       M_KEEP.	 Specifies the number of elements in the array.	 Specifies the
       size of each element in the array.

DIFFERENCES
       Requires malloc.h; changes declaration of malloc(), calloc(), and real‐
       loc() to void.

       Changes	declaration  of	 size,	nelem,	elsize	to  size_t.  Adds  the
       mallinfo(), alloca(), and mallopt() routines.
