NAME

set_sbrk_size − define memory available for allocation (obsolete)

USAGE

set_sbrk_size (newsize) int newsize;

DESCRIPTION

The DOMAIN/IX SR9.0 function set_sbrk_size, which defined the amount of memory available for allocation by the memory allocation functions sbrk(2), brk(2), malloc(3), realloc(3), and calloc(3), is obsolete. 

The amount of memory available to these functions is now limited only by the amount of virtual address space available to the process.  Any set_sbrk_size call that may be in the program is ignored. 

We include set_sbrk_size here for backward compatability.  However, we do not encourage its continued use, and we cannot promise its continued support.
