+ * Core Memory Manager related APIs.
+ * <h2>Operation mode</h2>
+ * The core memory manager is a simplified allocator that only allows to
+ * allocate memory blocks without the possibility to free them.<br>
+ * This allocator is meant as a memory blocks provider for the other
+ * allocators such as:
+ * - C-Runtime allocator.
+ * - Heap allocator (see @ref heaps).
+ * - @ref Memory pools allocator (see @ref pools).
+ * .
+ * By having a centralized memory provider the various allocators can coexist
+ * and share the main memory.<br>
+ * This allocator, alone, is also useful for very simple applications that
+ * just require a simple way to get memory blocks.<br>
+ * In order to use the core memory manager APIs the @p CH_USE_MEMCORE option
+ * must be specified in @p chconf.h.
