@snow as the programmer began creation first he declared 5he struct, and lo it was good. Then the programmer formed the struct from memory with malloc and used memcpy to breath data into it, and lo it was good. Finally when it was time for the struct had served its purpose the programmer freed the struct. From data to data and memory to memory the struct was returned, and thus the programmers work was completed.
