libumem(3LIB) Interface Libraries libumem(3LIB)NAMElibumem - object-caching memory allocation library
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lumem [ library... ]
#include <umem.h>
DESCRIPTION
Functions in this library provide fast, scalable object-caching memory
allocation with multithreaded application support. In addition to the
standard malloc(3C) family of functions and the more flexible
umem_alloc(3MALLOC) family, libumem provides powerful object-caching
services as described in umem_cache_create(3MALLOC).
The libumem library also provides extensive debugging support, includ‐
ing detection of memory leaks, buffer overruns, multiple frees, use of
uninitialized data, use of freed data, and many other common program‐
ming errors. See umem_debug(3MALLOC).
INTERFACES

below. See Intro(3) for additional information on shared object inter‐
faces.
