valloc —
#include <stdlib.h>
void *
valloc(size_t
size);
valloc() function is obsoleted by
the current version of
malloc(3), which aligns
page-sized and larger allocations.The valloc() function allocates
size bytes aligned on a page boundary. It is
implemented by calling
malloc(3) with a slightly
larger request, saving the true beginning of the block allocated, and
returning a properly aligned pointer.
valloc() function returns a pointer to the allocated
space if successful; otherwise a null pointer is returned
valloc() function appeared in
3.0BSD.
vfree() function has not been implemented.
