+/**
+ * Variant of `malloc` that extends, or shrinks, an existing allocation,
+ * if beneficial and possible, or creates a new allocation with the new
+ * size, copies the data, and frees the old allocation. The returned
+ * pointer has an alignment usable for any compiler-independent intrinsic
+ * data type, if a new pointer is returned.
+ *
+ * On error, `ptr` is not freed.
+ *
+ * @etymology Memory (realloc)ation.
+ *
+ * @param ptr Pointer to the beginning of the old memory allocation.
+ * The process may crash if it does not point to the
+ * beginning of a memory allocation on the heap.
+ * However, if it is `NULL`, this function will behave
+ * like `malloc`.
+ * @param size The new allocation size. If zero, this function will
+ * behave like `free`, and will return `NULL`.
+ * @return Pointer to the beginning of the new allocation.
+ * If `size` is zero, `NULL` is returned. On error `NULL`
+ * is returned and `errno` is set to indicate the error.
+ *
+ * @throws ENOMEM The process cannot allocate more memory.
+ *
+ * @since Always.
