Description
Duplicate a string of the specified message type copying at most the specified number of bytes. A terminating null byte is added. The build-in memtypes are enumerated at the section called “Memory Types”. To create your own memory type use ec_memtype_register.
Note
This function is only valid with VSIZE memory type, not a fixed size type. For more information about memory types see Memory Types.
The ec_strndup function is a macro for duplicating a string of the MEMTYPE_MESSAGE_BODY type: It calls ec_mt_strdup(MEMTYPE_MESSAGE_BODY, __str, len).
- object_type
-
This parameter is an integer indicating a specific memory type.
- str
-
A pointer to the string you wish to duplicate.
- len
-
The number of bytes to copy, typically the length of the string.
This function returns a pointer to the duplicated string.
It is legal to call this function in the any thread.
