24 @deftypefn Extension char* concat (const char *@var{s1}, const char *@var{s2}, @
25 @dots{}, @code{NULL})
27 Concatenate zero or more of strings and return the result in freshly
28 @code{xmalloc}ed memory. Returns @code{NULL} if insufficient memory is
29 available. The argument list is terminated by the first @code{NULL}
30 pointer encountered. Pointers to empty strings are ignored.
32 @end deftypefn
34 NOTES
36 This function uses xmalloc() which is expected to be a front end
37 function to malloc() that deals with low memory situations. In
38 typical use, if malloc() returns NULL then xmalloc() diverts to an
39 error handler routine which never returns, and thus xmalloc will
40 never return a NULL pointer. If the client application wishes to
41 deal with low memory situations itself, it should supply an xmalloc
42 that just directly invokes malloc and blindly returns whatever
43 malloc returns.
