Parameters

nmemb

Number of objects to allocate. [Edit]

size

Size of each object to allocate. [Edit]

Returns

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

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.
