NAME
       contig_free - General: Frees a block of memory previously allocated by contig_malloc

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/malloc.h>

       void contig_free(
	       void *addr,
	       u_long size,
	       int type );

ARGUMENTS
       Specifies  the  address	of  the memory being freed. This address was returned in a previous call to contig_malloc.  Specifies the size (in
       bytes) of the memory being freed. You should pass the same value used to allocate this memory in the call to contig_malloc.  Specifies  the
       purpose	for  which  the  memory is being allocated (or freed). The memory type constants are defined in the file /usr/sys/include/sys/mal-
       loc.h. Examples of memory type constants are M_DEVBUF (device driver memory), M_KTABLE (kernel table memory), M_RTABLE (routing tables mem-
       ory), and so forth.

DESCRIPTION
       The contig_free routine frees the memory allocated in a previous call to contig_malloc. If the memory came from the saved memory pool, con-
       tig_free puts it back in the saved memory pool; otherwise, the interface frees the memory to the virtual memory subsystem.

RETURN VALUES
       None
