+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR libsimple_encalloc ()
+and
+.BR libsimple_ecalloc ()
+functions are wrappers for the
+.BR calloc (3)
+function, they allocate
+.I n*m
+zero-initialised bytes to the heap and return a
+pointer with an alignment of
+.I alignof(max_align_t)
+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_encalloc ()
+and
+.BR libsimple_ecalloc ()
+functions will terminate the process if the memory
+cannot be allocated (or if
+.I n
+or
+.I m
+is 0 and
+.BR calloc (3)
+returns
+.B NULL
+when it is used 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_encalloc ()
+function is used or
+.IR libsimple_default_failure_exit (3)
+if the
+.BR libsimple_ecalloc ()
+function is used.
+.PP
+The
+.BR libsimple_encalloc ()
+and
+.BR libsimple_ecalloc ()
+functions behaviour is unspecified if
+.I n
+or
+.I m
+is 0.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The
+.BR libsimple_encalloc ()
+and
+.BR libsimple_ecalloc ()
+functions return a pointer to the allocated memory
+upon success completion; otherwise the process is terminated.
+.SH ERRORS
+The
+.BR libsimple_encalloc ()
+and
+.BR libsimple_ecalloc ()
+functions will terminate the process on failure.
+.SH ATTRIBUTES
