The returned pointer will contain the +same content as +.IR ptr , +but truncated to +.I n +bytes if it is smaller or with the new bytes +uninitialised if it is larger. If a new pointer +is returned, rather than +.IR ptr , +.I ptr +is deallocated. 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_enrealloc () +and +.BR libsimple_erealloc () +functions will terminate the process if the memory +cannot be allocated (or if +.I n +is 0 and +.BR realloc (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_enrealloc () +function is used or +.IR libsimple_default_failure_exit (3) +if the +.BR libsimple_erealloc () +function is used. +.PP +The +.BR libsimple_enrealloc () +and +.BR libsimple_erealloc () +functions behaviour is unspecified if +.I n +is 0. +.SH RETURN VALUE +The +.BR libsimple_enrealloc () +and +.BR libsimple_erealloc () +functions return a pointer to the allocated memory +upon success completion; otherwise the process is terminated. +.SH ERRORS +The +.BR libsimple_enrealloc () +and +.BR libsimple_erealloc () +functions will terminate the process on failure. +.SH ATTRIBUTES +For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see +.BR attributes (7). +.TS +allbox; +lb lb lb +l l l. +Interface Attribute Value +T{ +.BR libsimple_enrealloc (), +.br +.BR libsimple_erealloc () +T} Thread safety MT-Safe +T{ +.BR libsimple_enrealloc (), +.br +.BR libsimple_erealloc () +T} Async-signal safety AS-Safe +T{ +.BR libsimple_enrealloc (), +.br +.BR libsimple_erealloc () +T} Async-cancel safety AC-Safe +.TE +.SH EXAMPLES +None. +.SH APPLICATION USAGE +None. +.SH RATIONALE +None. +.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS +None. +.SH NOTES +None. +.SH BUGS +None. +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR libsimple_enmalloc (3), +.BR libsimple_mallocz (3), +.BR libsimple_vmallocn (3), +.BR libsimple_vmalloczn (3), +.BR libsimple_encalloc (3), +.BR libsimple_vcallocn (3), +.BR libsimple_vreallocn (3), +.BR libsimple_memalign (3), +.BR libsimple_memalignz (3), +.BR libsimple_vmemalignn (3), +.BR libsimple_vmemalignzn (3), +.BR libsimple_enposix_memalign (3), +.BR libsimple_posix_memalignz (3), +.BR libsimple_vposix_memalignn (3), +.BR libsimple_vposix_memalignzn (3), +.BR libsimple_enaligned_alloc (3), +.BR libsimple_aligned_allocz (3), +.BR libsimple_valigned_allocn (3), +.BR libsimple_valigned_alloczn (3), +.BR libsimple_pvalloc (3), +.BR libsimple_pvallocz (3), +.BR libsimple_vpvallocn (3), +.BR libsimple_vpvalloczn (3), +.BR libsimple_valloc (3), +.BR libsimple_vallocz (3), +.BR libsimple_vvallocn (3), +.BR libsimple_vvalloczn (3), +.BR realloc (3) |
