ustrdup(3)                      Allegro manual                      ustrdup(3)

NAME
       ustrdup - Duplicates a string. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS
       #include <allegro.h>

       char *ustrdup(const char *src)

DESCRIPTION
       This functions copies the null-terminated string `src' into a newly
       allocated area of memory, effectively duplicating it. Example:

          void manipulate_string(const char *input_string)
          {
             char *temp_buffer = ustrdup(input_string);
             /* Now we can modify temp_buffer */
             ...

RETURN VALUE
       Returns the newly allocated string. This memory must be freed by the
       caller. Returns NULL if it cannot allocate space for the duplicated
       string.
