 NAME

   rpc_sm_set_client_alloc_free - Sets the memory allocation and freeing
                                  mechanisms used by the client stubs

 SYNOPSIS

    #include <rpc.h>
    void rpc_sm_set_client_alloc_free (
                   idl_void_p_t (*p_allocate) (unsigned long size),
                   void (*p_free) (idl_void_p_t ptr),
                   unsigned32 *status );

 PARAMETERS

   Input

   p_allocate
           Specifies a memory allocator routine.

   p_free  Specifies a memory free routine.  This routine is used to free
           memory allocated with the routine specified by p_allocate.

   Output

   status  Returns the status code from this routine.  This status code
           indicates whether the routine completed successfully or, if
           not, why not.

           Possible status codes and their meanings include:

           rpc_s_ok      Success.

 DESCRIPTION

   The rpc_sm_set_client_alloc_free routine overrides the default routines
   that the client stub uses to manage memory.

   The default memory management routines are ISO malloc and ISO free
   except when the remote call occurs within manager code in which case
   the default memory management routines are rpc_sm_allocate and
   rpc_sm_free.

 RETURN VALUES
   None.
