NAME
     ne_malloc, ne_calloc, ne_realloc, ne_strdup, ne_strndup,
     ne_oom_callback - memory allocation wrappers

SYNOPSIS
     #include 

     void *ne_malloc(size_t size);

     void *ne_calloc(size_t size);

     void *ne_realloc(void *size, size_t len);

     char *ne_strdup(const char *s);

     char *ne_strndup(const char *s, size_t size);

     void ne_oom_callback(void (*callback)(void));

DESCRIPTION
     The functions ne_malloc, ne_calloc, ne_realloc, ne_strdup
     and ne_strdnup provide wrappers for the equivalent functions
     in the standard C library. The wrappers provide the extra
     guarantee that if the C library equivalent returns NULL when
     no memory is available, an optional callback will be called,
     and the library will then call abort().

     ne_oom_callback registers a callback which will be invoked
     if an out of memory error is detected.

NOTES
     If the operating system uses optimistic memory allocation,
     the C library memory allocation routines will not return
     NULL, so it is not possible to gracefully handle memory
     allocation failures.
