Use the -l c option to qcc to link against this library. This library is usually included automatically.
This function is in libc.a, but not in libc.so
(in order to save space).
Description:
The _scalloc() functions allocate space for an array of length size bytes. Each element is initialized to 0.
You must use _sfree() to deallocate the memory allocated by _scalloc().
Returns:
A pointer to the start of the allocated memory, or NULL if there's insufficient memory available or if the size is zero.
