== NAME
nng_strdup - duplicate string
== SYNOPSIS
[source, c]
----
#include <nng/nng.h>
char *nng_strdup(const char *src);
----
== DESCRIPTION
The `nng_strdup()` duplicates the string _src_ and returns it.
This is logically equiavlent to using `<<nng_alloc.3#,nng_alloc()>>`
to allocate a region of memory of `strlen(s) + 1` bytes, and then
using `strcpy()` to copy the string into the destination before
returning it.
The returned string should be deallocated with
`<<nng_strfree.3#,nng_strfree()>>`, or may be deallocated using the
`<<nng_free.3#,nng_free()>>` using the length of the returned string plus
one (for the `NUL` terminating byte).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the system `free()` or similar functions to deallocate
the string, since those may use a different memory arena!
== RETURN VALUES
This function returns the new string on success, and `NULL` on failure.
== ERRORS
No errors are returned, but a `NULL` return value should be
treated the same as `NNG_ENOMEM`.
== SEE ALSO

<<nng_free.3#,nng_free(3)>>,
