23.11. slapi_ch_strdup()

Makes a copy of an existing string.
Syntax

#include "slapi-plugin.h"
char * slapi_ch_strdup( const char *s );

Parameters

This function takes the following parameter:

s
Pointer to the string you want to copy.
Returns

This function returns a pointer to a copy of the string. 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().
