 char *ptr; A pointer to the actual block of allocated memory.

 unsigned size; The size in bytes of the allocated block.

 char *file; The name of the source-file in which the call to routine used in allocating this block was located.

 int line; The line in the source-file in which the call to the routine used in allocating this block was located.

 struct malinfo *next; A pointer to the next MALINFO block, to make this a linked list.
