Yes exactly want to create dummy file and delete in future for space. I need to know the command to create empty file with specified amount of size.
Or any other workout to manage space.

What is the command or how to create a user with the restricted usage of space on a disk.
Also let me know how to change the limit of the space size allotted in future for the same user.

my apps use port 40001; however, for example, firstly, I ftp to other server, it made a high port locally, remote is port 21, unfortunately, it hit my port 40001 and my apps is unable to startup. This chance is very very little, but I hit it. Can resevse my port 40001? otherwise command don't use it (5 Replies)

MALLOC(3F) MALLOC(3F)
NAME
malloc, free, falloc - memory allocator
SYNOPSIS
subroutine malloc (size, addr)
integer size, addr
subroutine free (addr)
integer addr
subroutine falloc (nelem, elsize, clean, basevec, addr, offset)
integer nelem, elsize, clean, addr, offset
DESCRIPTION
Malloc, falloc and free provide a general-purpose memory allocation package. Malloc returns in addr the address of a block of at least
size bytes beginning on an even-byte boundary.
Falloc allocates space for an array of nelem elements of size elsize and returns the address of the block in addr. It zeros the block if
clean is 1. It returns in offset an index such that the storage may be addressed as basevec(offset+1) ... basevec(offset+nelem). Falloc
gets extra bytes so that after address arithmetic, all the objects so addressed are within the block.
The argument to free is the address of a block previously allocated by malloc or falloc; this space is made available for further alloca-
tion, but its contents are left undisturbed. To free blocks allocated by falloc, use addr in calls to free, do not use basevec(offset+1).
Needless to say, grave disorder will result if the space assigned by mallocorfalloc is overrun or if some random number is handed to free.
DIAGNOSTICS
Malloc and falloc set addr to 0 if there is no available memory or if the arena has been detectably corrupted by storing outside the bounds
of a block.
The following example shows how to obtain memory and use it within a subprogram:
integer addr, work(1), offset
...
call falloc ( n, 4, 0, work, addr, offset )
do 10 i = 1, n
work(offset+i) = ...
10 continue
The next example reads in dimension information, allocates space for two arrays and two vectors, and calls subroutine doit to do the compu-
tations:
integer addr, dummy(1), offs
read *, k, l, m
indm1 = 1
indm2 = indm1 + k*l
indm3 = indm2 + l*m
indsym = indm3 + k*m
lsym = n*(n+1)/2
indv = indsym + lsym
indtot = indv + m
call falloc ( indtot, 4, 0, dummy, addr, offs )
call doit( dummy(indm1+offs), dummy(indm2+offs),
. dummy(indm3+offs), dummy(indsym+offs),
. dummy(indv +offs), m, n, lsym )
end
subroutine doit( arr1, arr2, arr3, vsym, vec, m, n, lsym )
real arr1(k,l), arr2(l,m), arr3(k,m), vsym(lsym), v2(m)
...
