dos_calloc

Usage

   #include <dos.h>

   unsigned dos_calloc(unsigned para):

Description

   Allocates memory from the heap by a direct call to MS-DOS. If successful,
   the allocated memory is cleared (all bytes zero). The argument para
   contains the number of paragraphs required. Use:

           (bytes_required+15)/16

   Memory allocated with dos_calloc should be freed using dos_free only.

Example 

   See that for dos_alloc.

Return Value

   If successful dos_calloc returns the segment of the allocated block,
   otherwise zero is returned and _doserrno is set to the DOS error number.
