распределитель памяти (a memory allocator)
Пролог (Prolog)
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The
Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
Имя (Name)
calloc — a memory allocator
Синопсис (Synopsis)
#include <stdlib.h>
void *calloc(size_t nelem, size_t elsize);
Описание (Description)
The functionality described on this reference page is aligned
with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements
described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This
volume of POSIX.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard.
The calloc() function shall allocate unused space for an array of
nelem elements each of whose size in bytes is elsize. The space
shall be initialized to all bits 0.
The order and contiguity of storage allocated by successive calls
to calloc() 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.
Возвращаемое значение (Return value)
Upon successful completion with both nelem and elsize non-zero,
calloc() shall return a pointer to the allocated space. If either
nelem or elsize is 0, then either:
* A null pointer shall be returned and errno may be set to an
implementation-defined value, or
* A pointer to the allocated space shall be returned. The
application shall ensure that the pointer is not used to
access an object.
Otherwise, it shall return a null pointer and set errno to
indicate the error.
Ошибки (Error)
The calloc() function shall fail if:
ENOMEM Insufficient memory is available.
