NAME

       pagesize - Print supported system page sizes

SYNOPSIS

       pagesize [options]

DESCRIPTION

       The  pagesize utility prints the page sizes of a page of memory in bytes, as returned by getpagesizes(3). This is useful when creating por-

       If no parameters are specified, pagesize prints the system base page size as returned by getpagesize().	The  following	parameters  affect
       what other pagesizes are displayed.

       --huge-only, -H

	      Display all huge pages supported by the system as returned by gethugepagesizes().

       --all, -a

	      Display all page sizes supported by the system.
