The subroutine is called by:

Input  

free deallocates a region of memory previously allocated by malloc. The region of memory is returned to the memory manager; it is no longer available to the user's program.

Example: free(): 

    real x
    pointer ( ptr, x ) 
    ptr = malloc ( 10000 )
    call free ( ptr )
    end
