NAME
       contig_free  - General: Frees a block of memory previously allocated by
       contig_malloc

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/malloc.h>

       void contig_free(
	       void *addr,
	       u_long size,
	       int type );

ARGUMENTS
       Specifies the address of the  memory  being  freed.  This  address  was
       returned	 in  a previous call to contig_malloc.	Specifies the size (in
       bytes) of the memory being freed. You should pass the same  value  used
       to  allocate  this  memory in the call to contig_malloc.	 Specifies the
       purpose for which the memory is being allocated (or freed). The	memory
       type  constants	are defined in the file /usr/sys/include/sys/malloc.h.
       Examples of memory type constants are M_DEVBUF (device driver  memory),
       M_KTABLE	 (kernel  table memory), M_RTABLE (routing tables memory), and
       so forth.

DESCRIPTION
       The contig_free routine frees the memory allocated in a	previous  call
       to  contig_malloc.  If the memory came from the saved memory pool, con‐
       tig_free puts it back in the saved memory pool; otherwise,  the	inter‐
       face frees the memory to the virtual memory subsystem.

RETURN VALUES
       None
