Standard C Library Functions                     getpagesizes(3C)



NAME
     getpagesizes - get system supported page sizes

SYNOPSIS
     #include 

     int getpagesizes(size_t pagesize[], int nelem);


DESCRIPTION
     The getpagesizes() function returns  either  the  number  of
     different  page  sizes supported by the system or the actual
     sizes themselves.  When called with nelem as 0 and  pagesize
     as NULL, getpagesizes() returns the number of supported page
     sizes. Otherwise, up to nelem page sizes are  retrieved  and
     assigned  to successive elements  of pagesize[].  The return
     value is the number of  page  sizes  retrieved  and  set  in
     pagesize[].

RETURN VALUES
     Upon successful completion, the  number  of  pagesizes  sup-
     ported  or  actually retrieved is returned. Otherwise, -1 is
     returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS
     The getpagesizes() function will fail if:

     EINVAL    The nelem argument is less than 0 or  pagesize  is
               NULL but nelem is non-zero.


USAGE
     The getpagesizes() function returns all the page  sizes  for
     which  the  hardware and system software provide support for
     the memcntl(2) command  MC_HAT_ADVISE.  Not  all  processors
     support  all  page  sizes or combinations of page sizes with
     equal efficiency. Applications programmers should take  this
     into consideration when using getpagesizes().
