VENTI-MEM(2)VENTI-MEM(2)NAME
vtbrk, vtmalloc, vtmallocz, vtrealloc, vtstrdup, vtfree - error-check‐
ing memory allocators
SYNOPSIS
#include <u.h>
#include <libc.h>
#include <venti.h>
void* vtbrk(int size)
void* vtmalloc(int size)
void* vtmallocz(int size)
void* vtrealloc(void *ptr, int size)
char* vtstrdup(char *s)
void vtfree(void *ptr)
DESCRIPTION
These routines allocate and free memory. On failure, they print an
error message and call sysfatal (from perror(2)). They do not return.
Vtbrk returns a pointer to a new, permanently allocated block of at
least size bytes.
Vtmalloc, vtrealloc, and vtstrdup are like malloc, realloc, and strdup,
but, as noted above, do not return on error. Vtmallocz is like vtmal‐
loc but zeros the block before returning it. Memory allocated with all
four should be freed with vtfree when no longer needed.
