SET_SBRK_SIZE(2) BSD SET_SBRK_SIZE(2)
NAME
set_sbrk_size - define memory available for allocation (obsolete)
SYNOPSIS
set_sbrk_size (newsize)
int newsize;
DESCRIPTION
The Domain/IX 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brk(2), malloc(3), realloc(3), and calloc(3), is obsolete.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.
