Any conflict between the requirements described here and the +ISO\ C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017 defers to the ISO\ C standard. +.P +The +\fIcalloc\fR() +function shall allocate unused space for an array of +.IR nelem +elements each of whose size in bytes is +.IR elsize . +The space shall be initialized to all bits 0. +.P +The order and contiguity of storage allocated by successive calls to +\fIcalloc\fR() +is unspecified. The pointer returned if the allocation succeeds shall +be suitably aligned so that it may be assigned to a pointer to any type +of object and then used to access such an object or an array of such +objects in the space allocated (until the space is explicitly freed or +reallocated). Each such allocation shall yield a pointer to an object +disjoint from any other object. The pointer returned shall point to the +start (lowest byte address) of the allocated space. If the space cannot +be allocated, a null pointer shall be returned. If the size of the +space requested is 0, the behavior is implementation-defined: either a +null pointer shall be returned, or the behavior shall be as if the +size were some non-zero value, except that the behavior is undefined +if the returned pointer is used to access an object. +.SH "RETURN VALUE" +Upon successful completion with both +.IR nelem +and +.IR elsize +non-zero, +\fIcalloc\fR() +shall return a pointer to the allocated space. If either +.IR nelem +or +.IR elsize +is 0, then either: +.IP " *" 4 +A null pointer shall be returned +and +.IR errno +may be set to an implementation-defined value, +or +.IP " *" 4 +A pointer to the allocated space shall be returned. The application +shall ensure that the pointer is not used to access an object. +.P +Otherwise, it shall return a null pointer +and set +.IR errno +to indicate the error. +.SH ERRORS +The +\fIcalloc\fR() +function shall fail if: +.TP +.BR ENOMEM +Insufficient memory is available. +.LP +.IR "The following sections are informative." +.SH EXAMPLES +None. +.SH "APPLICATION USAGE" +There is now no requirement for the implementation to support the +inclusion of +.IR <malloc.h> . +.SH RATIONALE +None. +.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS" +None. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.IR "\fIfree\fR\^(\|)", +.IR "\fImalloc\fR\^(\|)", +.IR "\fIrealloc\fR\^(\|)" +.P +The Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017, +.IR "\fB<stdlib.h>\fP" +.\" +.SH COPYRIGHT +Portions of this text are reprinted and reproduced in electronic form +from IEEE Std 1003.1-2017, Standard for Information Technology +-- Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX), The Open Group Base +Specifications Issue 7, 2018 Edition, +Copyright (C) 2018 by the Institute of +Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc and The Open Group. +In the event of any discrepancy between this version and the original IEEE and +The Open Group Standard, the original IEEE and The Open Group Standard +is the referee document.
