FUNCTION
<<vec_calloc>>---allocate space for arrays
INDEX
vec_calloc
INDEX
_vec_calloc_r
ANSI_SYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h>
void *vec_calloc(size_t <[n]>, size_t <[s]>);
void *vec_calloc_r(void *<[reent]>, size_t <n>, <size_t> <[s]>);
TRAD_SYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h>
char *vec_calloc(<[n]>, <[s]>)
size_t <[n]>, <[s]>;
char *_vec_calloc_r(<[reent]>, <[n]>, <[s]>)
char *<[reent]>;
size_t <[n]>;
size_t <[s]>;
DESCRIPTION
Use <<vec_calloc>> to request a block of memory sufficient to hold an
array of <[n]> elements, each of which has size <[s]>.
The memory allocated by <<vec_calloc>> comes out of the same memory pool
used by <<vec_malloc>>, but the memory block is initialized to all zero
bytes. (To avoid the overhead of initializing the space, use
<<vec_malloc>> instead.)
The alternate function <<_vec_calloc_r>> is reentrant.
The extra argument <[reent]> is a pointer to a reentrancy structure.
RETURNS
If successful, a pointer to the newly allocated space.
If unsuccessful, <<NULL>>.
PORTABILITY
<<vec_calloc>> is an non-ANSI extension described in the AltiVec Programming
Interface Manual.
Supporting OS subroutines required: <<close>>, <<fstat>>, <<isatty>>,
<<lseek>>, <<read>>, <<sbrk>>, <<write>>.
