 * nbase_memalloc.c -- A few simple functions related to memory            *
 * allocation.  Right now they are just safe_ versions of well known calls *
 * like malloc that quit if the allocation fails (so you don't have to     *
 * have a bunch of ugly checks in your code.  These were written by        *
 * fyodor@nmap.org .                                                   *

 * The Nmap license generally prohibits companies from using and

 * If you have received a written Nmap license agreement or contract

 *
 * The official Nmap Windows builds include the Npcap software
 * (https://npcap.com) for packet capture and transmission. It is under
 * separate license terms which forbid redistribution without special

 * Source is provided to this software because we believe users have a
 * right to know exactly what a program is going to do before they run it.
 * This also allows you to audit the software for security holes.
 *
 * Source code also allows you to port Nmap to new platforms, fix bugs, and
 * add new features. You are highly encouraged to submit your changes as a
 * Github PR or by email to the dev@nmap.org mailing list for possible
 * incorporation into the main distribution. Unless you specify otherwise, it

 * submissions as described in the Nmap Public Source License Contributor
 * Agreement. This is important because we fund the project by selling licenses
 * with various terms, and also because the inability to relicense code has
 * caused devastating problems for other Free Software projects (such as KDE
 * and NASM).
