freemem() in c

Frees a previously allocated DOS memory block
Declaration:
int freemem(unsigned segx);
Remarks:
freemem frees a memory block allocated by a previous call to allocmem.
segx is the segment address of the block.

Return Value:
On success, both functions return 0
On error,
_dos_freemem returns the DOS error code and sets errno to ENOMEM (Bad memory pointer)
freemem returns -1 and sets errno to ENOMEM (Insufficient memory)

program




#include <dos.h>
#include <alloc.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
   unsigned int size, segp;
   int stat;

   size = 64; /* (64 x 16) = 1024 bytes */
   stat = allocmem(size, &segp);
   if (stat < 0)
      printf("Allocated memory at segment: %x\n", segp);
   else
      printf("Failed: maximum number of\
             paragraphs available is %u\n", stat);
   freemem(segp);

   return 0;
}
