.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
These macros call \fImalloc\fR(3C) to allocate a block of memory of size
\fIn\fR of the correct type (depending on which macro was used).
.PP
These macros are defined in \fI<esps/esps.h>\fR and should not be
declared in your program.
.SH EXAMPLE
.PP
.nf
\fI/* get a block of 100 floats and shorts */\fR
float *fptr;
short *sptr;
