+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR strdup ()
+function returns a pointer to a new string which
+is a duplicate of the string
+.IR s .
+Memory for the new string is
+obtained with
+.BR malloc (3),
+and can be freed with
+.BR free (3).
+.P
+The
+.BR strndup ()
+function is similar, but copies at most
+.I n
+bytes.
+If
+.I s
+is longer than
+.IR n ,
+only
+.I n
+bytes are copied, and a terminating null byte (\[aq]\e0\[aq]) is added.
+.P
+.BR strdupa ()
+and
+.BR strndupa ()
+are similar, but use
+.BR alloca (3)
+to allocate the buffer.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On success, the
+.BR strdup ()
+function returns a pointer to the duplicated
+string.
+It returns NULL if insufficient memory was available, with
+.I errno
+set to indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+.TP
+.B ENOMEM
+Insufficient memory available to allocate duplicate string.
+.SH ATTRIBUTES
+For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
