+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR libsimple_pvalloc (),
+.BR libsimple_enpvalloc (),
+and
+.BR libsimple_epvalloc ()
+functions allocate
+.I n
+uninitialised bytes, rounded up to the next multiple of
+the page size, to the heap and return a pointer with an
+alignment of the page size 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_enpvalloc ()
+and
+.BR libsimple_epvalloc ()
+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_enpvalloc ()
+function is used or
+.IR libsimple_default_failure_exit (3)
+if the
+.BR libsimple_epvalloc ()
+function is used.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The
+.BR libsimple_pvalloc (),
+.BR libsimple_enpvalloc (),
+and
+.BR libsimple_epvalloc ()
+functions return a pointer to the allocated memory
+upon success completion; otherwise the
+.BR libsimple_pvalloc ()
+function return
+.B NULL
+and set
+.I errno
+it indicate the error, and the
+.BR libsimple_enpvalloc ()
+and
+.BR libsimple_epvalloc ()
+functions terminated the process.
+.SH ERRORS
+The
+.BR libsimple_pvalloc ()
+function will fail if:
+.TP
+.B EINVAL
+.I n
+is 0.
+.TP
+.B ENOMEM
+Enough memory could not be allocated.
+.PP
+The
+.BR libsimple_enpvalloc ()
+and
+.BR libsimple_epvalloc ()
+functions will terminate the process on failure.
