.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR libsimple_aligned_allocz (),
.BR libsimple_enaligned_allocz (),
and
.BR libsimple_ealigned_allocz ()
functions allocate
.I n
bytes to the heap and return a pointer with an
alignment of
.I alignment
bytes to the allocated memory. The memory will be
initialised with zeroes if
.I clear
is a non-zero value. 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_enaligned_allocz ()
and
.BR libsimple_ealigned_allocz ()
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_enaligned_allocz ()
function is used or
.IR libsimple_default_failure_exit (3)
if the
.BR libsimple_ealigned_allocz ()
function is used.
.PP
The
.BR libsimple_enaligned_allocz ()
and
.BR libsimple_ealigned_allocz ()
functions behaviour is unspecified if
.I n
is 0.

.SH RETURN VALUE
The
.BR libsimple_aligned_allocz (),
.BR libsimple_enaligned_allocz (),
and
.BR libsimple_ealigned_allocz ()
functions return a pointer to the allocated memory
upon success completion; otherwise the
.BR libsimple_aligned_allocz ()
function return
.B NULL
and set
.I errno
it indicate the error, and the
.BR libsimple_enaligned_allocz ()
and
.BR libsimple_ealigned_allocz ()
functions terminated the process.

.SH ERRORS
The
.BR libsimple_aligned_allocz ()
function will fail if:
.TP
.B EINVAL
.I n
is 0.
.TP
.B EINVAL
.I n
is not a multiple of
.IR alignment .
.TP
.B EINVAL
.I alignment
is not a power of two.
.TP
.B ENOMEM
Enough memory could not be allocated.
.PP
The
.BR libsimple_enaligned_allocz ()
and
.BR libsimple_ealigned_allocz ()
functions will terminate the process on failure.
