FREE(3P)                POSIX Programmer's ManualFREE(3P)

PROLOG        top

       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The       Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the       corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or       the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME        top

       free — free allocated memory

SYNOPSIS        top

       #include <stdlib.h>       void free(void *ptr);

DESCRIPTION        top

       The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with       the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements       described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This       volume of POSIX.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard.       Thefree() function shall cause the space pointed to byptr to be       deallocated; that is, made available for further allocation. Ifptr is a null pointer, no action shall occur. Otherwise, if the       argument does not match a pointer earlier returned by a function       in POSIX.1‐2008 that allocates memory as if bymalloc(), or if the       space has been deallocated by a call tofree() orrealloc(), the       behavior is undefined.       Any use of a pointer that refers to freed space results in       undefined behavior.

RETURN VALUE        top

       Thefree() function shall not return a value.

ERRORS        top

       No errors are defined.The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES        top

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE        top

       There is now no requirement for the implementation to support the       inclusion of<malloc.h>.

RATIONALE        top

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS        top

       None.
