NAME
     freebuf - free a buffer by returning it to its buffer pool

SYNOPSIS
     int freebuf(buf)
     char *buf;

DESCRIPTION
     _F_r_e_e_b_u_f returns a previously allocated buffer to its buffer
     pool, making it available for other processes to use.
     _F_r_e_e_b_u_f returns SYSERR if the buffer address is invalid or
     if the pool id has been corrupted (this version stores pool
     ids in the integer preceding the buffer address).
