libumem(3LIB) Interface Libraries libumem(3LIB)
NAME
libumem - object-caching memory allocation library
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lumem [ library... ]
#include <umem.h>
DESCRIPTION
Functions in this library provide fast, scalable object-caching memory allocation with multithreaded application support. In addition to
the standard malloc(3C) family of functions and the more flexible umem_alloc(3MALLOC) family, libumem provides powerful object-caching ser-
vices as described in umem_cache_create(3MALLOC).
The libumem library also provides extensive debugging support, including detection of memory leaks, buffer overruns, multiple frees, use
of uninitialized data, use of freed data, and many other common programming errors. See umem_debug(3MALLOC).
