end(3C)                                                   end(3C)



NAME
     end, etext, edata - last locations in program

SYNOPSIS
     extern end;
     extern etext;
     extern edata;

DESCRIPTION
     These names refer neither to routines nor to locations with
     interesting contents.  The address of etext is the first
     address above the program text, edata above the initialized
     data region, and end above the uninitialized data region.

     When execution begins, the program break (the first location
     beyond the data) coincides with end, but the program break
     may be reset by the routines of brk(2), malloc(3C), standard
     input/output (stdio(3S)), the profile (-p) option of cc(1),
     and so on.  Thus, the current value of the program break
     should be determined by sbrk(0) (see brk(2)).
