NAME
     libumem - object-caching memory allocation library

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag... ] file... -lumem [ library... ]
     #include 


DESCRIPTION
     Functions in this library  provide  fast,  scalable  object-
     caching  memory  allocation  with  multithreaded application
     support. In addition to the standard  malloc(3C)  family  of
     functions  and the more flexible umemalloc(3MALOC) family,
     libumem  provides  powerful   object-caching   services   as
     described in umemcachecreate(3MALOC).


     The libumem library also provides extensive  debugging  sup-
     port, including  detection of memory leaks, buffer overruns,
     multiple frees, use of  uninitialized  data,  use  of  freed
     data,   and   many  other  common  programming  errors.  See
     umemdebug(3MALOC).
