     PRIVALLOC(2)                                         PRIVALLOC(2)

     NAME
          privalloc, privfree - per-process private storage management

     SYNOPSIS
          #include <u.h>
          #include <libc.h>

          void** privalloc(void)

          void   privfree(void **p)

     DESCRIPTION
          Privalloc returns a pointer to a per-process private storage
          location.  The location is not shared among processes, even
          if they share the same data segments.  It returns nil if
          there are no free slots available.

          Privfree releases a location allocated with privalloc. It is
          legal to call privfree with p set to nil.
