.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR libsimple_posix_memalignz (),
.BR libsimple_enposix_memalignz (),
and
.BR libsimple_eposix_memalignz ()
functions allocate
.I n
bytes to the heap and store a pointer with an
alignment of
.I alignment
bytes to the allocated memory in
.IR memptr .
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 pointer stored in
.I memptr
as input when the allocated memory is no longer needed.
.I *memptr
remains unmodified on failure.
.PP
The
.BR libsimple_enposix_memalignz ()
and
.BR libsimple_eposix_memalignz ()
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_enposix_memalignz ()
function is used or
.IR libsimple_default_failure_exit (3)
if the
.BR libsimple_eposix_memalignz ()
function is used.
.PP
The
.BR libsimple_enposix_memalignz ()
and
.BR libsimple_eposix_memalignz ()
functions behaviour is unspecified if
.I n
is 0.

.SH RETURN VALUE
The
.BR libsimple_posix_memalignz ()
function returns 0 upon successful completion;
otherwise an error code is returned to indicate
the error.
.PP
The
.BR libsimple_enposix_memalignz ()
and
.BR libsimple_eposix_memalignz ()
functions do not return a value, but
terminated the process on failure.

.SH ERRORS
The
.BR libsimple_posix_memalignz ()
function will fail if:
.TP
.B EINVAL
.I n
is 0.
.TP
.B EINVAL
.I alignment
is not a power of two.
.TP
.B EINVAL
.I alignment
is not a multiple of
.IR "sizeof(void *)" .
.TP
.B ENOMEM
Enough memory could not be allocated.
.PP
The
.BR libsimple_enposix_memalignz ()
and
.BR libsimple_eposix_memalignz ()
functions will terminate the process on failure.
