trusty (3) firestring_realloc.3.gz

NAME

       firestring_realloc - realloc(3) with internal result checking

SYNOPSIS

       #include <firestring.h>
       -lfirestring

       void *firestring_realloc(void *old, const size_t new)

DESCRIPTION

       firestring_realloc()  acts  exactly  like  realloc(3)  except that it detects realloc failures, prints an
       error and exit(3) with exit status EXIT_FAILURE.  In most programs, realloc failures  are  unrecoverable,
       and this is the preferred behaviour.

RETURN VALUE

       If  firestring_realloc() returns, it always returns a string of new bytes containing the data from old at
       the beginning.  It never returns NULL.
