.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR libsimple_posix_memalignn (),
.BR libsimple_enposix_memalignn (),
and
.BR libsimple_eposix_memalignn ()
functions allocate
.I N
uninitialised bytes to the heap and store a
pointer with an alignment of
.I alignment
bytes to the allocated memory in
.IR memptr ,
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 pointer stored in
.I memptr
as input when the allocated memory is no longer needed.
.I *memptr
remains unmodified on failure.
.PP
The
.BR libsimple_enposix_memalignn ()
and
.BR libsimple_eposix_memalignn ()
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_enposix_memalignn ()
function is used or
.IR libsimple_default_failure_exit (3)
if the
.BR libsimple_eposix_memalignn ()
function is used.
.PP
The
.BR libsimple_vposix_memalignn (),
.BR libsimple_envposix_memalignn (),
and
.BR libsimple_evposix_memalignn ()
functions are versions of the
.BR libsimple_posix_memalignn (),
.BR libsimple_enposix_memalignn (),
and
.BR libsimple_eposix_memalignn (),
respectively, that use
.B va_list
instead of variadic arguments.
.SH RETURN VALUE
The
.BR libsimple_vposix_memalignn ()
and
.BR libsimple_posix_memalignn ()
functions return 0 upon successful completion;
otherwise an error code is returned to indicate
the error.
.PP
The
.BR libsimple_envposix_memalignn (),
.BR libsimple_evposix_memalignn (),
.BR libsimple_enposix_memalignn (),
and
.BR libsimple_eposix_memalignn ()
functions to not return a value, but
terminated the process on failure.
.SH ERRORS
The
.BR libsimple_vposix_memalignn (),
.BR libsimple_posix_memalignn ()
function will fail if:
.TP
.B EINVAL
.I n
is 0.
.TP
.B EINVAL
.I alignment
is not a power of two.
.TP
.B EINVAL
.I alignment
is not a multiple of
.IR "sizeof(void *)" .
.TP
.B ENOMEM
Enough memory could not be allocated.
.PP
The
.BR libsimple_envposix_memalignn (),
.BR libsimple_evposix_memalignn (),
.BR libsimple_enposix_memalignn (),
and
.BR libsimple_eposix_memalignn ()
functions will terminate the process on failure.
