.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR libsimple_reallocarray (),
.BR libsimple_enreallocarray (),
and
.BR libsimple_ereallocarray ()
functions are wrappers for the
.BR realloc (3)
function, they reallocate memory allocated on
the heap and return the older pointer or a new
pointer with the alignment of
.I alignof(max_align_t)
to the allocated memory of 
.I n*m
bytes. The behaviour is unspecified if
.I n
or
.I m
is 0. The returned pointer will contain the
same content as
.IR ptr ,
but truncated to
.I n*m
bytes if it is smaller or with the new bytes
unitialised if it is larger. If a new pointer
is returned, rather than
.IR ptr ,
.I ptr
is deallocated;
.I ptr
is not deallocated on failure. 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_enreallocarray ()
and
.BR libsimple_ereallocarray ()
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_enreallocarray ()
function is used or
.IR libsimple_default_failure_exit (3)
if the
.BR libsimple_ereallocarray ()
function is used.

.SH RETURN VALUE
The
.BR libsimple_reallocarray (),
.BR libsimple_enreallocarray (),
and
.BR libsimple_ereallocarray ()
functions return a pointer to the allocated memory
upon success completion; otherwise the
.BR libsimple_reallocarray ()
function returns
.B NULL
and set
.I errno
it indicate the error, and the
.BR libsimple_enreallocarray ()
and
.BR libsimple_ereallocarray ()
functions terminated the process.

.SH ERRORS
The
.BR libsimple_reallocarray ()
function will fail for the reasons specified for the
.BR realloc (3)
function.
.PP
The
.BR libsimple_enreallocarray ()
and
.BR libsimple_ereallocarray ()
functions will terminate the process on failure.
