Function Documentation

PSC_copystr()

char * PSC_copystr

(

const char *

src

)

Copy a string.

This is similar to strdup(), but uses PSC_malloc() internally.

Parameters

src	the string to copy

Returns

a newly allocated copy of the string

PSC_joinstr()

char * PSC_joinstr	(	const char *	delim,
		char **	strings
	)

Join multiple strings.

This joins an array of strings into a new string, putting a delimeter between all the elements.

Parameters

delim	the delimeter
strings	the strings to join, array must end with a NULL pointer

Returns

a newly allocated joined string

PSC_lowerstr()

char * PSC_lowerstr

(

const char *

src

)

Lowercase a string.

This creates a copy of the string in all lowercase.

Parameters

src	the string to copy

Returns

a newly allocated lowercased string

PSC_malloc()

void * PSC_malloc

(

size_t

size

)

Allocate memory.

This is a wrapper around malloc() that ensures only valid pointers are returned. In case of an allocation error, PSC_Service_panic() is called.

Parameters

size	size of the memory to allocate

Returns

the newly allocated memory

PSC_realloc()

void * PSC_realloc	(	void *	ptr,
		size_t	size
	)

Re-allocate memory.

This is a wrapper around realloc() that ensures only valid pointers are returned. In case of an allocation error, PSC_Service_panic() is called.

Parameters

ptr	the previously allocated memory
size	new size for the allocated memory

Returns

the newly allocated memory
