freeing malloc

[kermit]

It has been a long time since I have done any programming, and so my knowledge is quite rusty. Say I had a function where I did something like this:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

void foo(char **txt_ptr)
{
    enum {
        BUF_MAX = 25
    };
    char *buffer = malloc(BUF_MAX * sizeof *buffer);

    if (buffer == NULL) {
        puts("No memory for you!");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }

    strcpy(buffer, "A random string");
    *txt_ptr = buffer;
}

int main(void)
{
    char *textp = NULL;
    foo(&textp);
    printf("\n&#37;s\n\n", textp);

    return 0;
}

Would I do

free(textp);

from main? Would this properly free the memory I allocated in 'foo'?

Yes, that would be correct.

Yes. It's a - ok.
