NAME
       strdup, strndup, strdupa, strndupa - duplicate a string
SYNOPSIS
       #include <string.h>
       char *strdup(const char *s);
       char *strndup(const char *s, size_t n);
       char *strdupa(const char *s);
       char *strndupa(const char *s, size_t n);
   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
       strdup():
           _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500
               || /* Since glibc 2.12: */ _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L
               || /* Glibc versions <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE
       strndup():
           Since glibc 2.10:
               _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L
           Before glibc 2.10:
               _GNU_SOURCE
       strdupa(), strndupa(): _GNU_SOURCE
DESCRIPTION
       The  strdup()  function  returns  a  pointer to a new string which is a
       duplicate of the string s.  Memory for the new string is obtained  with
       malloc(3), and can be freed with free(3).
       The strndup() function is similar, but copies at most n bytes.  If s is
       longer than n, only n bytes are copied, and  a  terminating  null  byte
       ('\0') is added.
       strdupa() and strndupa() are similar, but use alloca(3) to allocate the
       buffer.  They are available only when using the GNU GCC suite, and suf-
       fer from the same limitations described in alloca(3).
RETURN VALUE
       On  success,  the strdup() function returns a pointer to the duplicated
       string.  It returns NULL if insufficient  memory  was  available,  with
       errno set to indicate the cause of the error.
ERRORS
       ENOMEM Insufficient memory available to allocate duplicate string.
