NAME

nostk − allow process to manage its own stack

SYNTAX

int nostk()

DESCRIPTION

The nostk system call informs the system that the process wishes to manage its own stack. The system releases the stack segment(s) it has reserved and makes them available for allocation with a brk call. 

You should use the nostk call in a C program only with great caution and with an understanding of the C language calling and stack conventions.  It is most useful for assembler programs that want to use the entire available address space.
