Memory Management Routines

Allocating and Releasing Relocatable Blocks of Memory

You can use the NewHandle function to allocate a relocatable block of memory. If you want to allocate new blocks of memory with their bits precleared to 0, you can use the NewHandleClear function.

WARNING

You should not call any of these memory-allocation routines at
interrupt time.

You can use the DisposeHandle procedure to free relocatable blocks of memory you have allocated.
