MALLOC(3)           Linux Programmer's Manual      MALLOC(3)
NAME
       calloc,  malloc, free, realloc - Allocate and free dynamic memory

SYNOPSIS
       #include <stdlib.h>

       void *malloc(size_t size);

DES‎CRIP‎TION

malloc() allocates size bytes and returns a pointer to the
         allocated memory.  The memory is not cleared.

RETURN VALUE
       For calloc() and malloc(), the value returned is a
 pointer to the allocated memory, which is suitably aligned
 for any kind of variable, or NULL if the request fails.

CONFORMING TO
       ANSI-C

SEE ALSO
       brk(2)

NOTES
       Crashes in malloc(), free() or realloc() are 
almost always related to heap corruption, such as 
overflowing  an  allocated chunk or freeing the same 
pointer twice.
