NOSTK(2)

NAME

nostk − allow process to manage its own stack

SYNOPSIS

nostk()

DESCRIPTION

Nostk informs the system that the process wishes to manage its own stack. The system releases the stack segment(s) it has reserved, making them available for allocation (via brk(2)) by the user.  C program should use nostk only with great caution and understanding of the C language calling and stack conventions.  It is most useful for assembler programs that want to use the entier available address space.
