Parameters

nmemb

Number of objects to allocate.

size

Size of each object to allocate.

Returns

The calloc function returns a pointer to the allocated memory if successful; otherwise IntPtr.Zero is returned and Stdlib.GetLastError returns Errno.ENOMEM.

Remarks

The calloc() function allocates space for nmemb objects, each size bytes in length. The result is identical to calling Stdlib.malloc(3) with an argument of "nmemb * size," with the exception that the allocated memory is explicitly initialized to zero bytes.

The return value of calloc must be passed to Stdlib.free to avoid a memory leak.

Requirements

Namespace: Mono.Unix.Native
