    From C99 section 7.20.3.2 : The free function

    Synopsis

     1 #include <stdlib.h>
       void free(void *ptr);
    

    Description

    2 The free function causes the space pointed to by ptr to be deallocated, that is, made
    available for further allocation. If ptr is a null pointer, no action occurs.
