60 FreeBSD's support for POSIX.1e interfaces and features is still under
61 development at this time.
63 Upon successful completion, this function shall return a pointer to the
64 working storage. Otherwise, a value of

68 shall be set to indicate the error.
70 If any of the following conditions occur, the
72 function shall return a value of
76 to the corresponding value:
79 The value of count is less than zero.
83 to be returned requires more memory than is allowed by the hardware or
84 system-imposed memory management constraints.
91 POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17. Discussion
92 of the draft continues on the cross-platform POSIX.1e implementation
93 mailing list. To join this list, see the
95 POSIX.1e implementation
96 page for more information.
98 POSIX.1e support was introduced in
