-The

-so that the compiler can do constant folding.
-In the comparison to

-There is no difference between the memory allocated with MALLOC and malloc.

-either FREE or free can be used to free it.

 Unlike its standard C library counterpart
 .Pq Xr malloc 3 ,
 the kernel version takes two more arguments.
