+The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult

+.SH NAME
+malloc
+\(em a memory allocator
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <stdlib.h>
+.P
+void *malloc(size_t \fIsize\fP);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the
+ISO\ C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the
+ISO\ C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1\(hy2008 defers to the ISO\ C standard.
+.P
+The
+\fImalloc\fR()
+function shall allocate unused space for an object whose size in
+bytes is specified by
+.IR size
+and whose value is unspecified.
+.P
+The order and contiguity of storage allocated by successive calls to
+\fImalloc\fR()
+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 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 points 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"
+Upon successful completion with
+.IR size
+not equal to 0,
+\fImalloc\fR()
+shall return a pointer to the allocated space. If
+.IR size
+is 0, either a null pointer or a unique pointer that can be
+successfully passed to
+\fIfree\fR()
+shall be returned. Otherwise, it shall return a null pointer
+and set
+.IR errno
+to indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+The
+\fImalloc\fR()
+function shall fail if:
+.TP
+.BR ENOMEM
+Insufficient storage space is available.
