/* xmemdup.c -- Duplicate a memory buffer, using xcalloc.
   This trivial function is in the public domain.
   Jeff Garzik, September 1999.  */

/*

@deftypefn Replacement void* xmemdup (void *@var{input}, size_t @var{copy_size}, size_t @var{alloc_size})

Duplicates a region of memory without fail.  First, @var{alloc_size} bytes
are allocated, then @var{copy_size} bytes from @var{input} are copied into
it, and the new memory is returned.  If fewer bytes are copied than were
allocated, the remaining memory is zeroed.

@end deftypefn
