SCO is getting smaller and smaller
SCO is downsizing. Ch. 11 Trustee Edward Cahn has filed a motion for the sale, transfer or abandonment of certain de minimis assets. They have also signed a new lease with Canopy, and they hope the court will approve it. The new lease with Canopy is for space more than 50 percent smaller than where they've been. So, no more feet on that huge desk in Darl's office. Remember that picture? Ah, yes, 2004. The bogo accusations. I call them the Bogo Years.
Also, Cahn and SCO are petitioning the court for authority to get rid of some forklift trucks, some computers, and other office equipment without having to ask the court's permission each time and without having to provide notices for each sale. If they can't sell them, they want to be able to toss them out, on proper notice of the abandonment.
Hey, wait! Somebody buy me Darl's computer, will ya, if it goes on the block? Or throw it out in my direction. Like that could happen. But seriously, Linux works great on aged computers, as these are described as being. I'd like to give his computer new life. Heh heh. I could then put my feet up on my desk, and feel mighty fine. After some appropriate forensics.
There will be a hearing on this motion on December 30.

cfree

CFREE(3)						     Linux Programmer's Manual							  CFREE(3)

NAME

       cfree - free allocated memory

SYNOPSIS

       #include <stdlib.h>

       /* In SunOS 4 */
       int cfree(void *ptr);

       /* In glibc or FreeBSD libcompat */
       void cfree(void *ptr);

       /* In SCO OpenServer */
       void cfree(char *ptr, unsigned num, unsigned size);

       /* In Solaris watchmalloc.so.1 */
       void cfree(void *ptr, size_t nelem, size_t elsize);

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       cfree(): _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION

       This function should never be used.  Use free(3) instead.

   1-arg cfree
       In glibc, the function cfree() is a synonym for free(3), "added for compatibility with SunOS".

       Other systems have other functions with this name.  The declaration is sometimes in <stdlib.h> and sometimes in <malloc.h>.

   3-arg cfree
       Some SCO and Solaris versions have malloc libraries with a 3-argument cfree(), apparently as an analog to calloc(3).

       If you need it while porting something, add

	   #define cfree(p, n, s) free((p))

       to your file.

       A frequently asked question is "Can I use free(3) to free memory allocated with calloc(3), or do I need cfree()?"  Answer: use free(3).

       An  SCO	manual writes: "The cfree routine is provided for compliance to the iBCSe2 standard and simply calls free.  The num and size argu-
       ments to cfree are not used."

RETURN VALUE

       The SunOS version of cfree() (which is a synonym for free(3)) returns 1 on success and 0 on failure.  In case of error,	errno  is  set	to
       EINVAL: the value of ptr was not a pointer to a block previously allocated by one of the routines in the malloc(3) family.

CONFORMING TO

       The 3-argument version of cfree() as used by SCO conforms to the iBCSe2 standard: Intel386 Binary Compatibility Specification, Edition 2.
