I'm actually using 4.2.3.
When i run the
get_defined_functions() function, the listing includes a mention to:

leak

So i tried it. But it doesn't actually seem to do anything. I entered a few arguements, but it still didn't complain (even notices!).
I tried looking it up in my manual (4.3.0), and on the online manual function list, but i can't actually find a reference to it anywhere.

So what does this ellusive function do, that means it doesn't warrent being documented.

And i don't think it's deprecated, because the mysql() function is also listed (but again, not in the documentation), and when it tried that out, it gave a notice saying it was depricated.

From funcsummary.txt

void leak(int num_bytes=3)
     Cause an intentional memory leak, for testing/debugging purposes

So, this function is used only in debugging situations and that is why it isn't documented.
