my_calloc()

void * my_calloc	(	size_t	element_count,
		size_t	element_size,
		int	type )

Allocates memory for an array of elements (element_count) of bytes (element_size) each and initializes the memory to zero.

Note

type = 0: Free allocated memory with my_calloc

type = 1: Allocate memory

Parameters

element_count	The number of elements
element_size	The size of each element
type	The type of the usage

Returns

void * A pointer to the allocated memory

my_malloc_strdup_word_array()

char ** my_malloc_strdup_word_array

(

char **

array

)

Duplicates a word array (array) with my_malloc.

Note

The duplicated word array must be free only with my_free

Parameters

array

The word array to duplicate

Returns

char ** A pointer to the duplicated word array

Author

Parameters

destination	The destination memory area
source	The source memory area
size	The number of bytes to copy

Returns

void * A pointer to the destination memory area

Author

my_memcmp()

int my_memcmp	(	const void *	pointer1,
		const void *	pointer2,
		size_t	size )
