The following code fragment saves a copy of a bootptab entry returned by
getbootpent()
.
#include <malloc.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <bootpent.h>
bpp_t bpnew;
unsigned size;
size = fields *BP_SIZE;
if ((bpnew = (bpp_t) malloc (size)) == BP_NULLP)
{
(handle error)
}
(void) memcpy ((void *)bpnew, (void *)bp, size);
