NAME¶
firestring_strdup -
strdup(3) with internal result checking
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <firestring.h>
-lfirestring
char *firestring_strdup(const char * const input)
DESCRIPTION¶
firestring_strdup() acts exactly like
strdup(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_strdup() returns, it
always returns a copy of the string
input. It
never returns
NULL.
