firestring_strdup (3)

#include <firestring.h>

-lfirestring

char *firestring_strdup(const char * const input)

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.

If firestring_strdup() returns, it always returns a copy of the string input. It never returns NULL.
