+.SH PROLOG
+This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.
+The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult
+the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
+or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
+
+.SH NAME
+free
+\(em free allocated memory
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <stdlib.h>
+.P
+void free(void *\fIptr\fP);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the
+ISO\ C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the
+ISO\ C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1\(hy2008 defers to the ISO\ C standard.
+.P
+The
+\fIfree\fR()
+function shall cause the space pointed to by
+.IR ptr
+to be deallocated; that is, made available for further allocation. If
+.IR ptr
+is a null pointer, no action shall occur. Otherwise, if the argument
+does not match a pointer earlier returned by a function in POSIX.1\(hy2008 that
+allocates memory as if by
+\fImalloc\fR(),
+or if the space has been deallocated by a call to
+\fIfree\fR()
+or
+\fIrealloc\fR(),
+the behavior is undefined.
+.P
+Any use of a pointer that refers to freed space results in undefined
+behavior.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+The
+\fIfree\fR()
+function shall not return a value.
+.SH ERRORS
+No errors are defined.
+.LP
+.IR "The following sections are informative."
+.SH EXAMPLES
+None.
+.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
+There is now no requirement for the implementation to support the
+inclusion of
+.IR <malloc.h> .
+.SH RATIONALE
+None.
+.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
+None.
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
+.IR "\fIcalloc\fR\^(\|)",
+.IR "\fImalloc\fR\^(\|)",
