22@deftypefn Replacement void* xmalloc (size_t)
23
24Allocate memory without fail. If @code{malloc} fails, this will print
25a message to @code{stderr} (using the name set by
26@code{xmalloc_set_program_name},
27if any) and then call @code{xexit}. Note that it is therefore safe for
28a program to contain @code{#define malloc xmalloc} in its source.
29
30@end deftypefn
31
32@deftypefn Replacement void* xrealloc (void *@var{ptr}, size_t @var{size})
33Reallocate memory without fail. This routine functions like @code{realloc},
34but will behave the same as @code{xmalloc} if memory cannot be found.
35
36@end deftypefn
37
38@deftypefn Replacement void* xcalloc (size_t @var{nelem}, size_t @var{elsize})
39
40Allocate memory without fail, and set it to zero. This routine functions
41like @code{calloc}, but will behave the same as @code{xmalloc} if memory
42cannot be found.
43
44@end deftypefn
45
46@deftypefn Replacement void xmalloc_set_program_name (const char *@var{name})
47
48You can use this to set the name of the program used by
49@code{xmalloc_failed} when printing a failure message.

55This function is not meant to be called by client code, and is listed
56here for completeness only. If any of the allocation routines fail, this
