		36	`These routines allocate and free memory.`
		37	`On failure, they print an error message and call`
		38	`.IR sysfatal`
		39	`(from`
		40	`.IR perror (2)).`
		41	`They do not return.`
		42	`.PP`
		43	`.I Vtbrk`
		44	`returns a pointer to a new, permanently allocated block of at least`
		45	`.I size`
		46	`bytes.`

		53	`.IR malloc ,`

		55	`and`
		56	`.IR strdup ,`
		57	`but, as noted above, do not return on error.`
		58	`.I Vtmallocz`
		59	`is like`
		60	`.I vtmalloc`
		61	`but zeros the block before returning it.`
		62	`Memory allocated with all four should be freed with`

		64	`when no longer needed.`
