NAME
       firestring_realloc - realloc(3) with internal result checking

SYNOPSIS
       #include <firestring.h>
       -lfirestring

       void *firestring_realloc(void *old, const size_t new)

DESCRIPTION
       firestring_realloc()  acts  exactly  like  realloc(3) except that it detects realloc failures, prints an error and exit(3) with exit status
       EXIT_FAILURE.  In most programs, realloc failures are unrecoverable, and this is the preferred behaviour.

RETURN VALUE
       If firestring_realloc() returns, it always returns a string of new bytes containing the data from old at the beginning.	It  never  returns
       NULL.
