DESCRIPTION
-----------

Install callbacks for custom allocation.

Normally :manpage:`malloc(3)` and :manpage:`free(3)` are used for allocation and releasing workloads. You can use :c:func:`gearman_client_set_memory_allocators` and :c:func:`gearman_worker_set_memory_allocators` to set your own custom allocators.

RETURN VALUE
------------

None
