-== NAME
-
-nng_alloc - allocate memory
-
-== SYNOPSIS
-
-[source, c]
-----
-#include <nng/nng.h>
-
-void *nng_alloc(size_t size);
-----
-
-== DESCRIPTION
-
-The `nng_alloc()` function allocates a contiguous memory region of
-at least _size_ bytes.
-The memory will be 64-bit aligned.
-
-The returned memory can be used to hold message buffers, in which
-case it can be directly passed to xref:nng_send.3.adoc[`nng_send()`] using
-the flag `NNG_FLAG_ALLOC`. Alternatively, it can be freed when no
-longer needed using xref:nng_free.3.adoc[`nng_free()`].
-
-IMPORTANT: Do not use the system `free()` function to release this memory.
-On some platforms this may work, but it is not guaranteed and may lead
-to a crash or other undesirable and unpredictable behavior.
-
-== RETURN VALUES
-
-This function returns a pointer to the allocated memory on success,
-and `NULL` otherwise.
-
-== ERRORS
-
-No errors are returned, but a `NULL` return value should be
-treated the same as `NNG_ENOMEM`.
