Malloc ( ) ???

Could anyone explain me how exactly Malloc ( Or any other Memory Mamagement Method) works when invoked by a c program?

*en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malloc

See the implementation part after a general scan through the rest.

it simply allocates the exact amount of memory passed as its argument and returns the base address of the memory location to the pointer calling it..

diff in malloc , kalloc and alike?
