- The function <STRONG>new_item</STRONG> allocates a new item and initializes
- it from the <STRONG>name</STRONG> and <STRONG>description</STRONG> pointers. Please notice
- that the item stores only the pointers to the name and
- description. Those pointers must be valid during the life-
- time of the item. So you should be very careful with names
- or descriptions allocated on the stack of some routines.
- The function <STRONG>free_item</STRONG> de-allocates an item. Please notice
- that it is the responsibility of the application to
- release the memory for the name or the description of the
- item.
