NAME

6       ustrdup - Duplicates a string. Allegro game programming library.
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <allegro.h>
10
11
12       char *ustrdup(const char *src)
13

DESCRIPTION

15       This  functions  copies  the  null-terminated string `src' into a newly
16       allocated area of memory, effectively duplicating it. Example:
17
18          void manipulate_string(const char *input_string)
19          {
20             char *temp_buffer = ustrdup(input_string);
21             /* Now we can modify temp_buffer */
22             ...
23

RETURN VALUE

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