This may not be required. After the first call geline() allocated a
buffer and will reuse it during next call. If it is not enough it will
realloc even if the buffer is passed by user via malloc().

>From man page:

"
If *lineptr is set to NULL and *n is set 0 before the call, then
getline() will allocate a buffer for storing the line. This
buffer
should be freed by the user program even if getline() failed.

Alternatively, before calling getline(), *lineptr can contain a
pointer to a malloc(3)-allocated buffer *n bytes in size. If
the
buffer is not large enough to hold the line, getline() resizes
it
with realloc(3), updating *lineptr and *n as necessary.

In either case, on a successful call, *lineptr and *n will be
updated
to reflect the buffer address and allocated size respectively.
