i saw the man pages.

it says to use malloc_type via 

MALLOC_DEFINE(type,shortdesc,longdesc)
MALLOC_DECLARE(type)

the man pages use M_FOOBUF(where did it come from ??)
in the field type.

Now how should i code it.

struct malloc_type  mytype;
mytype=MALLOC_DEFINE(.....,"mybuffers","mybuffers");

what should i put in the type field ??

thanks in advance,
kamal
