strsave(l)                      BEGEMOT Library                     strsave(l)

NAME
       strsave, xstrsave - return a fresh copy of a string

SYNOPSIS

       # include <begemot.h>

       char * strsave(const char *str);

       char * xstrsave(const char *str);

DESCRIPTION
       These functions copy the argument string str into a new memory area
       obtained from malloc(3C).  xstrsave(l) calls xalloc(l), so the program
       exits with a fatal error message if malloc(3C) fails.

RETURN VALUE
       strsave(l) returns a pointer to the new string or NULL if malloc(3C)
       has failed.  xstrsave(l) never returns NULL.

SEE ALSO
       malloc(3C), xalloc(l)
