firestring_strdup3
Strdup(3) with internal result checking
Usage
#include <firestring.h>
-lfirestring
char *firestring_strdup(const char * const input)
Overview
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.
Return value
If firestring_strdup() returns, it always returns a copy of the string input. It never returns NULL.
Releases
Unchanged in 6 releases since Debian 3.1 (Sarge).
