| <p><strong>Description</strong><br> |
| <code>mallinfo</code> returns a structure describing the current state of |
| memory allocation. The structure is defined in malloc.h. The |
| following fields are defined: <code>arena</code> is the total amount of space |
| in the heap; <code>ordblks</code> is the number of chunks which are not in use; |
| <code>uordblks</code> is the total amount of space allocated by <code>malloc</code>; |
| <code>fordblks</code> is the total amount of space not in use; <code>keepcost</code> is |
| the size of the top most memory block. |
| |
| <p><code>malloc_stats</code> print some statistics about memory allocation on |
| standard error. |
| |
| <p><code>mallopt</code> takes a parameter and a value. The parameters are defined |
| in malloc.h, and may be one of the following: <code>M_TRIM_THRESHOLD</code> |
| sets the maximum amount of unused space in the top most block before |
| releasing it back to the system in <code>free</code> (the space is released by |
| calling <code>_sbrk_r</code> with a negative argument); <code>M_TOP_PAD</code> is the |
| amount of padding to allocate whenever <code>_sbrk_r</code> is called to |
| allocate more space. |
| |
| <p>The alternate functions <code>_mallinfo_r</code>, <code>_malloc_stats_r</code>, and |
| <code>_mallopt_r</code> are reentrant versions. The extra argument <var>reent</var> |
| is a pointer to a reentrancy structure. |
| |
| <p><br> |
| <strong>Returns</strong><br> |
| <code>mallinfo</code> returns a mallinfo structure. The structure is defined |
| in malloc.h. |
| |
| <p><code>malloc_stats</code> does not return a result. |
| |
| <p><code>mallopt</code> returns zero if the parameter could not be set, or |
| non-zero if it could be set. |
| |
| <p><br> |
| <strong>Portability</strong><br> |
| <code>mallinfo</code> and <code>mallopt</code> are provided by SVR4, but <code>mallopt</code> |
| takes different parameters on different systems. <code>malloc_stats</code> is |
| not portable. |
