NAME
|
|
blkfree - free memory allocated to named block
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
blkfree(val)
|
|
|
|
TYPES
|
|
val named block, string, or integer
|
|
|
|
return null value
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
If val is a named block, or the name of a named block, or the
|
|
identifying index for a named block, blkfree(val) frees the
|
|
memory block allocated to this named block. The block remains
|
|
in existence with the same name, identifying index, and chunksize,
|
|
but its size and maxsize becomes zero and the pointer for the start
|
|
of its data block null.
|
|
|
|
A new block of memory may be allocated to a freed block B by
|
|
blk(B [, len, chunk]), len defaulting to zero and chunk to the
|
|
chunksize when the block was freed.
|
|
|
|
