The <stdlib.h> header defines several general operation functions and macros. Most of the functions defined in this header are standard libc functions; only inplace_realloc() is specific to Palm OS®.
NOTE: Functions that convert from strings to numbers are not multi-byte character aware, and do not take into account locale-sensitive settings such as the character used for decimals. Use the Palm OS specific equivalent functions if you need to be internationally safe.
Functions and Macros
inplace_realloc Function
Purpose
Attempts to resize the memory block without moving it.
Declared In
posix/stdlib.h Prototype
void *inplace_realloc ( void *ptr, size_tsize)
Parameters
Returns
