.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm realloc
|
|
.Nd reallocation of memory function
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <stdlib.h>
|
|
.Ft void *
|
|
.Fn realloc "void *ptr" "size_t size"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn realloc
|
|
function changes the size of the object pointed to by
|
|
.Fa ptr
|
|
to the size specified by
|
|
.Fa size .
|
|
The contents of the object are unchanged up to the lesser
|
|
of the new and old sizes.
|
|
If the new size is larger, the value of the newly allocated portion
|
|
of the object is indeterminate.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa ptr
|
|
is a null pointer, the
|
|
.Fn realloc
|
|
function behaves like the
|
|
.Xr malloc 3
|
|
function for the specified size.
|
|
Otherwise, if
|
|
.Fa ptr
|
|
does not match a pointer earlier returned by the
|
|
.Xr calloc 3 ,
|
|
.Xr malloc 3 ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn realloc
|
|
function, or if the space has been deallocated
|
|
by a call to the
|
|
.Xr free
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn realloc
|
|
function, unpredictable and usually detrimental
|
|
behavior will occur.
|
|
If the space cannot be allocated, the object
|
|
pointed to by
|
|
.Fa ptr
|
|
is unchanged.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
is zero and
|
|
.Fa ptr
|
|
is not a null pointer, the object it points to is freed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn realloc
|
|
function returns either a null pointer or a pointer
|
|
to the possibly moved allocated space.

.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn realloc
|
|
function conforms to
|
|
.St -ansiC .
