+.SH 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.
+.SH NAME
+calloc \- a memory allocator
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+\fB#include <stdlib.h>
+.br
+.sp
+void *calloc(size_t\fP \fInelem\fP\fB, size_t\fP \fIelsize\fP\fB);
+.br
+\fP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+The \fIcalloc\fP() function shall allocate unused space for an array
+of \fInelem\fP elements each of whose size in bytes is
+\fIelsize\fP. The space shall be initialized to all bits 0.
+.LP
+The order and contiguity of storage allocated by successive calls
+to \fIcalloc\fP() 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: the value
+returned shall be either a null pointer or a unique pointer.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.LP
+Upon successful completion with both \fInelem\fP and \fIelsize\fP
+non-zero, \fIcalloc\fP() shall return a pointer to the
+allocated space. If either \fInelem\fP or \fIelsize\fP is 0, then
+either a null pointer or a unique pointer value that can be
+successfully passed to \fIfree\fP() shall be returned. Otherwise,
+it shall return a null
+pointer  and set \fIerrno\fP to indicate the error. 
+.SH ERRORS
+.LP
+The \fIcalloc\fP() function shall fail if:
+.TP 7
+.B ENOMEM
+Insufficient memory is available. 
+.sp
+.LP
+\fIThe following sections are informative.\fP
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.LP
+None.
+.SH APPLICATION USAGE
+.LP
+There is now no requirement for the implementation to support the
+inclusion of \fI<malloc.h>\fP.
+.SH RATIONALE
+.LP
+None.
+.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS
+.LP
+None.
