This function allocates space in the same way as the standard C calloc() function, except that the pointer to the space allocated is automatically registered (using cnfRegp) for use from both C and FORTRAN. This means that the returned pointer may subsequently be converted into a FORTRAN pointer of type F77_POINTER_TYPE (using cnfFptr) and back into a C pointer (using cnfCptr). The contents of the space may therefore be accessed from both languages.

cpointer = cnfCalloc( nobj, size );

void $\ast$cnfCalloc

• As with calloc(), the allocated space is initialised to zero bytes.

• The space should be freed using cnfFree when no longer required.
