memalloc - memory allocator (BS2000)

Syntax	#include <stdlib.h> void *memalloc(size_t num);
Description	memalloc() allocates contiguous memory of num bytes at execution time. memalloc() passes the request for memory directly to the appropriate operating system call. This function is particularly suitable for memory areas with a size of more than 2 KB (see also memfree()).
Return val.	Pointer	to the new memory area if memalloc() was able to allocate new memory. This pointer may be used for any data type.
	Null pointer	if memalloc() was unable to provide the memory, e.g. because the available memory space was insufficient for the request.
Notes	The new memory area begins on a double-word boundary. The requested length num is rounded up to the next multiple of 2  KB. If the length of the allocated memory area is exceeded when writing, a serious disruption in working memory may occur. The memory area requested with memalloc() can be released by using memfree().
