/* Description:
* This is a allocation manager that frees or allocates variables to pointers depending on the context.
* If the pointer is already allocated it will free it and replace it with var
* If var is NULL then the pointer is assigned NULL and left "undefined"
* If it isn't NULL, the string var is copied to a allocated block stored in *ptr
* NOTE: This could be expanded to have uses outside of strings but that's not required (yet)
