+
+SYNOPSIS
+       #include <stdlib.h>
+
+       void *calloc(size_t nmemb, size_t size);
+       void *malloc(size_t size);
+       void free(void *ptr);
+       void *realloc(void *ptr, size_t size);
+
+DESCRIPTION
+       calloc() allocates memory for an array of  nmemb  elements
+       of  size bytes each and returns a pointer to the allocated
+       memory.  The memory is set to zero.
+
+       malloc() allocates size bytes and returns a pointer to the
+       allocated memory.  The memory is not cleared.
+
+       free()  frees  the  memory  space pointed to by ptr, which
+       must have been returned by a previous  call  to  malloc(),
+       calloc()  or  realloc().   If ptr is NULL, no operation is
+       performed.
+
+       realloc() changes the size of the memory block pointed  to
+       by  ptr  to size bytes.  The contents will be unchanged to
+       the minimum of the old an new sizes; newly allocated  mem-
+       ory  will  be  uninitialized.  If ptr is NULL, the call is
+       equivalent to malloc(size); if size is equal to zero,  the
+       call  is  equivalent to free(ptr).  Unless ptr is NULL, it
+       must have been returned by an earlier  call  to  malloc(),
+       calloc() or realloc().
+
+RETURN VALUES
+       For calloc() and malloc(), the value returned is a pointer
+       to the allocated memory, which is suitably aligned for any
+       kind of variable, or NULL if the request fails.
+
+       free() returns no value.
+
+       realloc() returns a pointer to the newly allocated memory,
+       which is suitably aligned for any kind of variable and may
+       be  different from ptr, or NULL if the request fails or if
+       size was equal to 0.   If  realloc()  fails  the  original
+       block is left untouched - it is not freed or moved.
