.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.ZN XtMalloc
|
|
functions returns a pointer to a block of storage of at least
|
|
the specified size bytes.
|
|
If there is insufficient memory to allocate the new block,
|
|
.ZN XtMalloc
|
|
calls
|
|
.ZN XtErrorMsg .
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.ZN XtCalloc
|
|
function allocates space for the specified number of array elements
|
|
of the specified size and initializes the space to zero.
|
|
If there is insufficient memory to allocate the new block,
|
|
.ZN XtCalloc
|
|
calls
|
|
.ZN XtErrorMsg .
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.ZN XtRealloc
|
|
function changes the size of a block of storage (possibly moving it).
|
|
Then, it copies the old contents (or as much as will fit) into the new block
|
|
and frees the old block.
|
|
If there is insufficient memory to allocate the new block,
|
|
.ZN XtRealloc
|
|
calls
|
|
.ZN XtErrorMsg .
|
|
If ptr is NULL,
|
|
.ZN XtRealloc
|
|
allocates the new storage without copying the old contents;
|
|
that is, it simply calls
|
|
.ZN XtMalloc .
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.ZN XtFree
|
|
function returns storage and allows it to be reused.
|
|
If ptr is NULL,
|
|
.ZN XtFree
|
|
returns immediately.
|
|
.LP
|
|
.ZN XtNew
|
|
returns a pointer to the allocated storage.
|
|
If there is insufficient memory to allocate the new block,
|
|
.ZN XtNew
|
|
calls
|
|
.ZN XtErrorMsg .
|
|
.ZN XtNew
|
|
is a convenience macro that calls
|
|
.ZN XtMalloc
|
|
with the following arguments specified:

|
|
.ZN XtNewString
|
|
returns a pointer to the allocated storage.
|
|
If there is insufficient memory to allocate the new block,
|
|
.ZN XtNewString
|
|
calls
|
|
.ZN XtErrorMsg .
