Easier done than said...

	/*
	 * strdup()
	 * Duplicate a string in malloc'd memory and return the
	 * address of the duplicate, or NULL if memory exhausted.
	 */
	char *
	strdup(s)
	char *s;
	{
		char *p;

		if (s == NULL
		 || (p = malloc(strlen(s) + 1)) == NULL)
			return NULL;
		(void) strcpy(p, s)
		return p;
	}
