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.
