23.8. slapi_ch_malloc()
Allocates space in memory.
Syntax
#include "slapi-plugin.h" char * slapi_ch_malloc( unsigned long size );
Parameters
This function takes the following parameter:
|
size
| Size of the space for which you want to allocate memory. |
Returns
This function returns a pointer to the newly allocated space of memory. If space cannot be allocated, e.g., no more virtual memory exists, the slapd program terminates.
Memory Concerns
This function terminates the slapd server with an "out of memory" error message if memory cannot be allocated.
The returned pointer should be freed by calling slapi_ch_free().
