# talloc

talloc is a hierarchical pool based memory allocator with destructors. It is the core memory allocator used in Samba, and has made a huge difference in many aspects of Samba4 development.

To get started with talloc, I would recommend you read the talloc guide.

## Download

You can download the latest releases of talloc from the talloc directory on the samba public source archive.

## Discussion and bug reports

talloc does not currently have its own mailing list or bug tracking system. For now, please use the samba-technical mailing list, and the Samba bugzilla bug tracking system.

## Development

You can download the latest code either via git or rsync.
To fetch via git see the following guide:
Using Git for Samba Development
Once you have cloned the tree switch to the master branch and cd into the lib/talloc directory.
To fetch via rsync use this command:

      rsync -Pavz samba.org::ftp/unpacked/standalone_projects/lib/talloc .
