The malloc tag is used for questions related to the use of the malloc() function, part of the C standard library.
malloc(), along with free(), calloc(), and realloc(), is used to explicitly manage memory in C.
malloc() returns the address of a newly allocated block of memory, or NULL if memory allocation fails. The memory returned by malloc is uninitialized, and should be assumed to be filled with random data.
