mbkrealloc.3alc - Man Page

#include "mut.h"
void ∗mbkrealloc(pt, bytes)
void ∗pt;
unsigned int bytes;

pt

Pointer to an already allocated area, allocated using mbkallocP

bytes

Number of memory bytes to be contiguously allocated

mbkrealloc returns a block of bytes length, for any purpose. It increases or decreases the size of the area, and return a pointer to the new block. It is now a day only an encapsulation of the system realloc function, but may evolve to a special allocator in the future. Its use is strongly encouraged.

Remark :

a global variable, long mbkrealloc_stat, updates the number of allocated bytes, and may be accessed by anyone to see the amount of allocated memory.

mbkrealloc returns a pointer to a bytes long block.
