NAME
firestring_strdup - strdup(3) with internal result checking
SYNOPSIS
#include <firestring.h>
-lfirestring
char *firestring_strdup(const char * const input)
DESCRIPTION
firestring_strdup() acts exactly like strdup(3) except that it detects
malloc failures, prints an error and exit(3) with exit status
EXIT_FAILURE. In most programs, malloc failures are unrecoverable, and
this is the preferred behaviour.
RETURN VALUE
If firestring_strdup() returns, it always returns a copy of the string
input. It never returns NULL.
