Synopsis:
    #include <malloc.h>

    the  halloc function.  The argument ptr points to a memory block to be
    deallocated.  After the call, the freed block is available for
    allocation.

                      halloc( 1024L, sizeof(long) );
        if( big_buffer == NULL ) {
          printf( "Unable to allocate memory\n" );
        } else {

          /* rest of code goes here */
