STRDUP(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to the STRDUP(3) page from the Library Functions Manual, and the main character is strdup — duplicate nul-terminated string. 💅✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

char* strdup(char* s)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea: strdup copies the nul-terminated string s to a new location provided by malloc(3) and returns a pointer to the new copy. it's giving fresh duplicate, same string energy, and the new location is literally from malloc(3). 🦋

and if malloc(3) failed? 0 is returned. yep, zero, that's the whole rule, no cap. 😭
