NewPtrClear

Allocate an cleared nonrelocatable block of memory

#include <Memory.h> Memory Manager

Size theSize ; desired allocation, in bytes (a 32-bit value)

returns address of allocated block; NIL if error

NewPtrClear is a variation on the routine NewPtr. It behaves just like

NewPtr, except that it clears the allocated space.

theSize specifies how much memory you wish to allocate.

Returns: a Ptr; the address of the allocated space or NIL (0) if there wasn't

room in the heap zone for the allocation. The MemError function

may return an Error Code of:

noErr (0) No error

memFullErr (-108) No room in heap

Notes: See NewPtr for more information.
