/**
 * \defgroup memb Memory block management functions
 *
 * The memory block allocation routines provide a simple yet powerful
 * set of functions for managing a set of memory blocks of fixed
 * size. A set of memory blocks is statically declared with the
 * MEMB() macro. Memory blocks are allocated from the declared
 * memory by the memb_alloc() function, and are deallocated with the
 * memb_free() function.
 *
 * \note Because of namespace clashes only one MEMB() can be
 * declared per C module, and the name scope of a MEMB() memory
 * block is local to each C module.
 *
 * The following example shows how to declare and use a memory block
 * called "cmem" which has 8 chunks of memory with each memory chunk
 * being 20 bytes large.
 *
