Perl's version of C<strdup()>. Returns a pointer to a newly allocated
string which is a duplicate of C<pv>. The size of the string is
determined by C<strlen()>, which means it may not contain embedded C<NUL>
-characters and must have a trailing C<NUL>. The memory allocated for the new
-string can be freed with the C<Safefree()> function.

+This can be done with the L</C<Safefree>> function, or

On some platforms, Windows for example, all allocated memory owned by a thread
is deallocated when that thread ends. So if you need that not to happen, you
