.TH LIBSIMPLE_VALLOCZ 3 2018-11-03 libsimple
.SH NAME
libsimple_vallocz \- allocate optionally initialised memory with page size alignment
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <libsimple.h>
static inline void *libsimple_vallocz(int \fIclear\fP, size_t \fIn\fP);
static inline void *libsimple_envallocz(int \fIstatus\fP, int \fIclear\fP, size_t \fIn\fP);
static inline void *libsimple_evallocz(int \fIclear\fP, size_t \fIn\fP);

#ifndef evallocz

.PP
Link with
.IR \-lsimple .
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR libsimple_vallocz (),
.BR libsimple_envallocz (),
and
.BR libsimple_evallocz ()
functions allocate
.I n
bytes to the heap and return a pointer with an
alignment of the page size
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_envallocz ()
and
.BR libsimple_evallocz ()
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_envallocz ()
function is used or
.IR libsimple_default_failure_exit (3)
if the
.BR libsimple_evallocz ()
function is used.
.PP
The
.BR libsimple_envallocz ()
and
.BR libsimple_evallocz ()
functions behaviour is unspecified if
.I n
is 0.
.SH RETURN VALUE
The
.BR libsimple_vallocz (),
.BR libsimple_envallocz (),
and
.BR libsimple_evallocz ()
functions return a pointer to the allocated memory
upon success completion; otherwise the
.BR libsimple_vallocz ()
function return
.B NULL
and set
.I errno
it indicate the error, and the
.BR libsimple_envallocz ()
and
.BR libsimple_evallocz ()
functions terminated the process.
.SH ERRORS
The
.BR libsimple_vallocz ()
function will fail if:
.TP
.B ENOMEM
Enough memory could not be allocated.
.PP
The
.BR libsimple_envallocz ()
and
.BR libsimple_evallocz ()
functions will terminate the process on failure.
