NE_MALLOC(3)		       neon API reference		    NE_MALLOC(3)

NAME
     ne_malloc,  ne_calloc, ne_realloc, ne_strdup, ne_strndup, ne_oom_callback -
     memory allocation wrappers

SYNOPSIS
     #include <ne_alloc.h>

     void *ne_malloc(size_t size);

     void *ne_calloc(size_t size);

     void *ne_realloc(void *size, size_t len);

     char *ne_strdup(const char *s);

     char *ne_strndup(const char *s, size_t size);

     void ne_oom_callback(void (*callback)(void));

DESCRIPTION
     The functions ne_malloc, ne_calloc, ne_realloc,  ne_strdup  and  ne_strdnup
     provide  wrappers	for  the equivalent functions in the standard C library.
     The wrappers provide the extra guarantee that if the C  library  equivalent
     returns  NULL  when  no  memory  is available, an optional callback will be
     called, and the library will then call abort().

     ne_oom_callback registers a callback which will be invoked  if  an  out  of
     memory error is detected.

NOTES
     If  the  operating  system uses optimistic memory allocation, the C library
     memory allocation routines will not return NULL, so it is not  possible  to
     gracefully handle memory allocation failures.
