+/* NAME
+/* mymalloc 3
+/* SUMMARY
+/* memory management wrappers
+/* SYNOPSIS
+/* #include <mymalloc.h>
+/*
+/* void *mymalloc(len)
+/* ssize_t len;
+/*
+/* void *myrealloc(ptr, len)
+/* void *ptr;
+/* ssize_t len;
+/*
+/* void myfree(ptr)
+/* void *ptr;
+/*
+/* char *mystrdup(str)
+/* const char *str;
+/*
+/* char *mystrndup(str, len)

+/* char *mymemdup(ptr, len)
+/* const char *ptr;
+/* ssize_t len;
+/* DESCRIPTION
+/* This module performs low-level memory management with error
+/* handling. A call of these functions either succeeds or it does
+/* not return at all.
+/*
+/* To save memory, zero-length strings are shared and read-only.
+/* The caller must not attempt to modify the null terminator.
+/* This code is enabled unless NO_SHARED_EMPTY_STRINGS is
+/* defined at compile time (for example, you have an sscanf()
+/* routine that pushes characters back into its input).
+/*
+/* mymalloc() allocates the requested amount of memory. The memory
+/* is not set to zero.
+/*
+/* myrealloc() resizes memory obtained from mymalloc() or myrealloc()
+/* to the requested size. The result pointer value may differ from
+/* that given via the \fIptr\fR argument.
+/*
+/* myfree() takes memory obtained from mymalloc() or myrealloc()
+/* and makes it available for other use.
+/*
+/* mystrdup() returns a dynamic-memory copy of its null-terminated
+/* argument. This routine uses mymalloc().
+/*
+/* mystrndup() returns a dynamic-memory copy of at most \fIlen\fR
+/* leading characters of its null-terminated
+/* argument. The result is null-terminated. This routine uses mymalloc().
+/*
+/* mymemdup() makes a copy of the memory pointed to by \fIptr\fR
+/* with length \fIlen\fR. The result is NOT null-terminated.
+/* This routine uses mymalloc().
+/* SEE ALSO
+/* msg(3) diagnostics interface
+/* DIAGNOSTICS
+/* Problems are reported via the msg(3) diagnostics routines:
+/* the requested amount of memory is not available; improper use
+/* is detected; other fatal errors.
