firestring_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.
