calloc()
The function allocates memory for an array of nmemb elements of size bytes each and returns a pointer to the allocated memory. The memory is set to zero. If nmemb or size is 0, then returns either NULL, or a unique pointer value that can later be successfully passed to free(). If the multiplication of nmemb and size would result in integeroverflow, then returns an error. calloc(nmemb, size)nmemb: количество элементов. size: размер в байтах элемента. The functions return a pointer to the allocated memory, which is suitably aligned for any built-in type. On error, these functions return NULL. NULL may also be returned by a successful call with nmemb or size equal to zero.
