Makes a copy of an existing string.
#include "slapi-plugin.h" char * slapi_ch_strdup( char *s );
This function takes the following parameter:
Pointer to the string you want to copy.
This function returns a pointer to a copy of the string. If space cannot be allocated (for example, if no more virtual memory exists), the slapd program terminates.
This function should be called instead of the standard strdup() C function, and terminates the slapd server with an “out of memory” error message if memory cannot be allocated.
The returned pointer should be freed by calling slapi_ch_free() .
