37 | .Os | ||
38 | .Sh NAME | ||
39 | .Nm realloc | ||
40 | .Nd reallocation of memory function | ||
41 | .Sh SYNOPSIS | ||
42 | .Fd #include <stdlib.h> | ||
43 | .Ft void * | ||
44 | .Fn realloc "void *ptr" "size_t size" | ||
45 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | ||
46 | The | ||
47 | .Fn realloc | ||
48 | function changes the size of the object pointed to by | ||
49 | .Fa ptr | ||
50 | to the size specified by | ||
51 | .Fa size . | ||
52 | The contents of the object are unchanged up to the lesser | ||
53 | of the new and old sizes. | ||
54 | If the new size is larger, the value of the newly allocated portion | ||
55 | of the object is indeterminate. | ||
56 | If | ||
57 | .Fa ptr | ||
58 | is a null pointer, the | ||
59 | .Fn realloc | ||
60 | function behaves like the | ||
61 | .Xr malloc 3 | ||
62 | function for the specified size. | ||
63 | Otherwise, if | ||
64 | .Fa ptr | ||
65 | does not match a pointer earlier returned by the | ||
66 | .Xr calloc 3 , | ||
67 | .Xr malloc 3 , | ||
68 | or | ||
69 | .Fn realloc | ||
70 | function, or if the space has been deallocated | ||
71 | by a call to the | ||
72 | .Xr free | ||
73 | or | ||
74 | .Fn realloc | ||
75 | function, unpredictable and usually detrimental | ||
76 | behavior will occur. | ||
77 | If the space cannot be allocated, the object | ||
78 | pointed to by | ||
79 | .Fa ptr | ||
80 | is unchanged. | ||
81 | If | ||
82 | .Fa size | ||
83 | is zero and | ||
84 | .Fa ptr | ||
85 | is not a null pointer, the object it points to is freed. | ||
86 | .Pp | ||
87 | The | ||
88 | .Fn realloc | ||
89 | function returns either a null pointer or a pointer | ||
90 | to the possibly moved allocated space. | ||

97 | The | ||
98 | .Fn realloc | ||
99 | function conforms to | ||
