kkaalllloocc() -- Memory-Manipulation Routine

#iinncclluuddee <ssyyss/ccoohheerreenntt.hh>

kkaalllloocc(_n)
iinntt _n;

kkaalllloocc() is  a macro that allocates  _n bytes in the  kernel's data segment.
The amount of space available to kkaalllloocc() is limited by the kernel variable
AALLLLSSIIZZEE. kkaalllloocc()  returns a  pointer to the  allocated buffer, or  NULL if
space is insufficient.

The storage space returned will contain garbage.  Use mmeemmsseett() to clear the
storage, if needed.  Space allocated with kkaalllloocc() must be deallocated with
kkffrreeee().
