.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR libsimple_aligned_allocn (),
.BR libsimple_enaligned_allocn (),
and
.BR libsimple_ealigned_allocn ()
functions allocate
.I N
uninitialised bytes to the heap and return a
pointer with an alignment of
.I alignment
bytes to the allocated memory, where
.I N
is the product of
.I n
and all following arguments (which should have the type
.BR size_t )
up to the first 0;
.I n
must not be 0. 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_allocn ()
and
.BR libsimple_ealigned_allocn ()
functions will terminate the process if the memory
cannot be allocated, 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_allocn ()
function is used or
.IR libsimple_default_failure_exit (3)
if the
.BR libsimple_ealigned_allocn ()
function is used.
.PP
The
.BR libsimple_valigned_allocn (),
.BR libsimple_envaligned_allocn (),
and
.BR libsimple_evaligned_allocn ()
functions are versions of the
.BR libsimple_aligned_allocn (),
.BR libsimple_enaligned_allocn (),
and
.BR libsimple_ealigned_allocn (),
respectively, that use
.B va_list
instead of variadic arguments.

.SH RETURN VALUE
The
.BR libsimple_valigned_allocn (),
.BR libsimple_envaligned_allocn (),
.BR libsimple_evaligned_allocn (),
.BR libsimple_aligned_allocn (),
.BR libsimple_enaligned_allocn (),
and
.BR libsimple_ealigned_allocn ()
functions return a pointer to the allocated memory
upon success completion; otherwise the
.BR libsimple_valigned_allocn ()
and
.BR libsimple_aligned_allocn ()
functions return
.B NULL
and set
.I errno
it indicate the error, and the
.BR libsimple_envaligned_allocn (),
.BR libsimple_evaligned_allocn (),
.BR libsimple_enaligned_allocn (),
and
.BR libsimple_ealigned_allocn ()
functions terminated the process.

.SH ERRORS
The
.BR libsimple_valigned_allocn (),
.BR libsimple_aligned_allocn ()
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_envaligned_allocn (),
.BR libsimple_evaligned_allocn (),
.BR libsimple_enaligned_allocn (),
and
.BR libsimple_ealigned_allocn ()
functions will terminate the process on failure.
