SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -lmapmalloc [ library... ]
       #include <stdlib.h>

DESCRIPTION

       Functions in this library provide malloc routines that use mmap(2) instead of sbrk(2) for acquiring heap space.

INTERFACES

       The  shared object libmapmalloc.so.1 provides the public interfaces defined below. See intro(3) for additional information on shared object
       interfaces.

       calloc			     cfree
       free			     mallinfo
       malloc			     mallopt
       memalign 		     realloc
       valloc
