FREE - free allocated space.

(ANSI Standard)

Usage:

#include <stdlib.h>
free( ptr );

Where:

void *ptr;

points to a block of memory previously allocated by "malloc", "calloc", or "realloc".

Description:

"free" releases the block of memory pointed to by "ptr". This memory is then free for re-use by subsequent calls to "malloc" and friends.
