23.5. slapi_ch_calloc()
Description
Allocates space for an array of a number of elements of a specified size.
Syntax
#include "slapi-plugin.h" char * slapi_ch_calloc( unsigned long nelem, unsigned long size );
Parameters
This function takes the following parameters:
|
nelem
| Number of elements for which you want to allocate memory. |
|
size
| Size, in bytes, of the element for which you want to allocate memory. |
Returns
This function returns a pointer to the newly allocated space of memory. If space cannot be allocated, e.g., no more virtual memory exists, the slapd program terminates.
Memory Concerns
This function terminates the slapd server with an "out of memory" error message if memory cannot be allocated. You should free the returned pointer by calling slapi_build_control().
