+.SH NAME
+libsimple_aligned_reallocf \- reallocate memory and customise alignment
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+#include <libsimple.h>
+
+static inline void *libsimple_aligned_reallocf(void *\fIptr\fP, size_t \fIalignment\fP, size_t \fIn\fP);

+.IR \-lsimple .
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR libsimple_aligned_reallocf ()
+function reallocates memory allocated on
+the heap and return the older pointer or a new
+pointer with the alignment of
+.I alignment
+to the allocated memory of
+.I n
+bytes. 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
+unitialised if it is larger. If a new pointer
+is returned, rather than
+.IR ptr ,
+.I ptr
+is deallocated;
+.I ptr
+is 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
+If
+.I n
+is 0,
+.I ptr
+is deallocaed and
+.B NULL
+is returned, however portable applications should,
+unless the namespaced alias is used, assume the
+behaviour is unspecifed in this case.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The
+.BR libsimple_aligned_reallocf (),
+function returns a pointer to the allocated memory
+upon success completion; otherwise the
+.BR libsimple_aligned_reallocf ()
+function returns
+.B NULL
+and set
+.I errno
+it indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+The
+.BR libsimple_aligned_reallocf ()
+function will fail for the reasons specified for the
+.BR realloc (3)
+function, and if:
+.TP
+.B EINVAL
+.I alignment
+is an invalid alignment (usually it needs to be an power of 2).
+.TP
+.B ENOSYS
+The function is not implemented. The function requires
+non-standard libc functions, and is therefore not supported
+for all libc implementations.
+
+The function is implemented if and only if the macro
+.B LIBSIMPLE_HAVE_ALIGNED_REALLOC
+is defined by the library.
