char * strdup( const char *str1 );
(dynamic memory TR)Returns a pointer to a null-terminated byte string, which is a duplicate of the string pointed to by str1. The returned pointer must be passed to free to avoid a memory leak.
If an error occurs, a null pointer is returned and errno may be set.
As all functions from Dynamic Memory TR, strdup is only guaranteed to be available if __STDC_ALLOC_LIB__ is defined by the implementation and if the user defines __STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT2__ to the integer constant 1 before including string.h.
A pointer to the newly allocated string, or a null pointer if an error occurred.
[edit] NotesThe function is identical to the POSIX strdup.

int main(void)
{
const char *s1 = "String";
char *s2 = strdup(s1);
assert(strcmp(s1, s2) == 0);
free(s2);
