STRDUP(3) BSD Library Functions Manual STRDUP(3)NAME
strdup, strndup -- save a copy of a string
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h>
char *
strdup(const char *str);
char *
strndup(const char *str, size_t len);
DESCRIPTION
The strdup() function allocates sufficient memory for a copy of the string str, does the copy, and returns a pointer to it. The pointer may
subsequently be used as an argument to the function free(3).
If insufficient memory is available, NULL is returned and errno is set to ENOMEM.
The strndup() function copies at most len characters from the string str always NUL terminating the copied string.
SEE ALSO free(3), malloc(3), wcsdup(3)HISTORY
The strdup() function first appeared in 4.4BSD. The strndup() function was added in FreeBSD 7.2.

strdup, strndup, strdupa, strndupa - duplicate a string
SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h>
char *strdup(const char *s);
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <string.h>
char *strndup(const char *s, size_t n);
char *strdupa(const char *s);
char *strndupa(const char *s, size_t n);
DESCRIPTION
The strdup() function returns a pointer to a new string which is a duplicate of the string s. Memory for the new string is obtained with
malloc(3), and can be freed with free(3).
The strndup() function is similar, but only copies at most n characters. If s is longer than n, only n characters are copied, and a termi-
nating NUL is added.
strdupa and strndupa are similar, but use alloca(3) to allocate the buffer. They are only available when using the GNU GCC suite, and suf-
fer from the same limitations described in alloca(3).
RETURN VALUE
The strdup() function returns a pointer to the duplicated string, or NULL if insufficient memory was available.
ERRORS
ENOMEM Insufficient memory available to allocate duplicate string.
CONFORMING TO
SVID 3, BSD 4.3. strndup(), strdupa(), and strndupa() are GNU extensions.

First of all -- thanks for being patient with me. I hope I'm submitting this correctly. Also I haven't done UNIX Admin since the early 1990's. I'm actually a DBA. But, since I'm the one in the office with the UNIX experience, I'm the SA.
