.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR libsimple_valloczn (),
.BR libsimple_envalloczn (),
and
.BR libsimple_evalloczn ()
functions allocate
.I N
bytes to the heap and return a pointer with an
alignment of the page size
to the allocated memory, where
.I N
is the product of
.I n
and all following arguments (which should have the type
.BR size_t )
up to the first 0;
.I n
must not be 0. The memory will be initialised
with zeroes if
.I clear
is a non-zero value. The function
.BR free (3)
shall be called with the returned pointer as
input when the allocated memory is no longer needed.
.PP
The
.BR libsimple_envallocz ()
and
.BR libsimple_evallocz ()
functions will terminate the process if the memory
cannot be allocated, by calling the
.BR libsimple_enprintf ()
and
.BR libsimple_eprintf ()
functions, respectively.
On failure, the process's exit value will be
.I status
if the
.BR libsimple_envallocz ()
function is used or
.IR libsimple_default_failure_exit (3)
if the
.BR libsimple_evallocz ()
function is used.
.PP
The
.BR libsimple_vvalloczn (),
.BR libsimple_envvalloczn (),
and
.BR libsimple_evvalloczn ()
functions are versions of the
.BR libsimple_valloczn (),
.BR libsimple_envalloczn (),
and
.BR libsimple_evalloczn (),
respectively, that use
.B va_list
instead of variadic arguments.
.SH RETURN VALUE
The
.BR libsimple_vvalloczn (),
.BR libsimple_envvalloczn (),
.BR libsimple_evvalloczn (),
.BR libsimple_valloczn (),
.BR libsimple_envalloczn (),
and
.BR libsimple_evalloczn ()
functions return a pointer to the allocated memory
upon success completion; otherwise the
.BR libsimple_vvalloczn ()
and
.BR libsimple_valloczn ()
functions return
.B NULL
and set
.I errno
it indicate the error, and the
.BR libsimple_envvalloczn (),
.BR libsimple_evvalloczn (),
.BR libsimple_envalloczn (),
and
.BR libsimple_evalloczn ()
functions terminated the process.
.SH ERRORS
The
.BR libsimple_vvalloczn (),
.BR libsimple_valloczn ()
function will fail if:
.TP
.B EINVAL
.I n
is 0.
.TP
.B ENOMEM
Enough memory could not be allocated.
.PP
The
.BR libsimple_envvallocz (),
.BR libsimple_evvallocz (),
.BR libsimple_envallocz (),
and
.BR libsimple_evallocz ()
functions will terminate the process on failure.
