[comp.lang.c] What is cfree

bobmon@iuvax.UUCP ([bob, mon]) (02/21/88)

Another dumb "what is this?" -- A recently posted phase-of-the-moon program
includes a call to "cfree()" and TurboC doesn't know what this function is.
Can anyone identify it for me?

Thanx,

cfree() was supposed to be the way you freed storage allocated
by calloc(), until people realized that free() would do the job.
Change the invocation of cfree (which may have more than one
argument, of which only the pointer is used) to a call to free()
instead.
