malloc
Description This routine allocates a packet of memory of a specified size and returns a
pointer
to it. If mal/oc is unable to allocate the packet (i.e., if it runs out of
memory), it returns a null pointer (0). This function does not modify the
memory
it allocates. Refer to Section 6.1 .1 , Specifying the Size of Memory
to Manage, for more information on
allocating memory.
