8 size_t @var{copy_size}, size_t @var{alloc_size})
10 Duplicates a region of memory without fail. First, @var{alloc_size} bytes
11 are allocated, then @var{copy_size} bytes from @var{input} are copied into
12 it, and the new memory is returned. If fewer bytes are copied than were
13 allocated, the remaining memory is zeroed.
