PRIVALLOC(2)                  System Calls Manual                 PRIVALLOC(2)



NAME
       privalloc, privfree - per-process private storage management

SYNOPSIS
       #include <u.h>
       #include <libc.h>

       void** privalloc(void)

       void   privfree(void **p)

DESCRIPTION
       Privalloc  returns a pointer to a per-process private storage location.
       The location is not shared among processes, even if they share the same
       data segments.  It returns nil if there are no free slots available.

       Privfree  releases a location allocated with privalloc.  It is legal to
       call privfree with p set to nil.
