<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The <code>nng_alloc()</code> function allocates a contiguous memory region of
at least <em>size</em> bytes.
The memory will be 64-bit aligned.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The returned memory can be used to hold message buffers, in which
case it can be directly passed to <a href="nng_send.3.html"><code>nng_send()</code></a> using
the flag <code>NNG_FLAG_ALLOC</code>. Alternatively, it can be freed when no
longer needed using <a href="nng_free.3.html"><code>nng_free()</code></a>.</p>

<tr>
<td class="icon">
<i class="fa icon-important" title="Important"></i>
</td>
<td class="content">
Do not use the system <code>free()</code> function to release this memory.
On some platforms this may work, but it is not guaranteed and may lead
to a crash or other undesirable and unpredictable behavior.
