SET_SBRK_SIZE(2)         DOMAIN/IX SYS5          SET_SBRK_SIZE(2)



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     and calloc(3), is obsolete.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 avail-
     able 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 can-
     not promise its continued support.
