valloc —
#include <stdlib.h>
void *
  
  valloc(size_t
    size);
valloc() function is obsoleted by
  the current version of
  malloc(3), which aligns
  page-sized and larger allocations.The valloc() function allocates
    size bytes aligned on a page boundary. It is
    implemented by calling
    malloc(3) with a slightly
    larger request, saving the true beginning of the block allocated, and
    returning a properly aligned pointer.
valloc() function returns a pointer to the allocated
  space if successful; otherwise a null pointer is returned
valloc() function appeared in
  3.0BSD.
vfree() function has not been implemented.
