## SYNOPSIS

```
#include "ns.h"

void *
Ns_ThreadAlloc(size_t size)

void *
Ns_ThreadCalloc(size_t nelem, size_t elsize)

void
Ns_ThreadFree(void *ptr)

void *
Ns_ThreadMalloc(size_t size)

Ns_Pool *
Ns_ThreadPool(void)

void *
Ns_ThreadRealloc(void *ptr, size_t size)

char *
Ns_ThreadStrCopy(char *str)

char *
Ns_ThreadStrDup(char *str)
```

## DESCRIPTION

These functions are deprecated and are actually wrappers around other functions. You should use the other functions directly.

- **Ns\_ThreadAlloc**(*size*)

  A wrapper for Ns\_ThreadMalloc.

- **Ns\_ThreadCalloc**(*nelem, elsize*)

  A wrapper for ns\_calloc.

- **Ns\_ThreadFree**(*ptr*)

  A wrapper for ns\_free.

- **Ns\_ThreadMalloc**(*size*)

  A wrapper for ns\_malloc.

- **Ns\_ThreadPool**()

  Deprecated. Always returns a -1.

- **Ns\_ThreadRealloc**(*ptr, size*)

  A wrapper for ns\_realloc.

- **Ns\_ThreadStrCopy**(*str*)

  A wrapper for ns\_strcopy.

- **Ns\_ThreadStrDup**(*str*)

  A wrapper for ns\_strdup.
