.TH LIBSIMPLE_ENCALLOC 3 2018-11-03 libsimple .SH NAME libsimple_encalloc \- allocate initialised memory or die .SH SYNOPSIS .nf #include void *libsimple_encalloc(int \fIstatus\fP, size_t \fIn\fP, size_t \fIm\fP); static inline void *libsimple_ecalloc(size_t \fIn\fP, size_t \fIm\fP); #ifndef encalloc # define encalloc libsimple_encalloc #endif #ifndef ecalloc # define ecalloc libsimple_ecalloc #endif .fi .PP Link with .IR \-lsimple . .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 For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see .BR attributes (7). .TS allbox; lb lb lb l l l.
