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.
