.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR libsimple_enaligned_alloc ()
and
.BR libsimple_ealigned_alloc ()
functions allocate
.I n
uninitialised bytes to the heap and return a
pointer with an alignment of
.I alignment
bytes to the allocated memory. 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_enaligned_alloc ()
and
.BR libsimple_ealigned_alloc ()
functions will terminate the process if the memory
cannot be allocated of if the user tries to allocate
0 bytes, 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_enaligned_alloc ()
function is used or
.IR libsimple_default_failure_exit (3)
if the
.BR libsimple_ealigned_alloc ()
function is used. Failure include,
.I alignment
not being a power of two, or
.I n
not being a multiple of
.IR alignment .
.PP
The
.BR libsimple_enaligned_alloc ()
and
.BR libsimple_ealigned_alloc ()
functions behaviour is unspecified if
.I n
is 0.
.SH RETURN VALUE
The
.BR libsimple_enaligned_alloc ()
and
.BR libsimple_ealigned_alloc ()
functions return a pointer to the allocated memory
upon success completion; otherwise the process is
terminated.
.SH ERRORS
The
.BR libsimple_enaligned_alloc ()
and
.BR libsimple_ealigned_alloc ()
functions will terminate the process on failure.
