NAME
       end, edata, etext, __data_start, __text_start - last locations in program

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
       These  names  refer  neither  to  routines nor to locations with interesting contents.  The address of the symbols and is the first address
       above the program text.	The address of and is the first address above the initialized data region.   The  address  of  and  is	the  first
       address above the uninitialized data region.

       The address of the symbol is the beginning address of the program's data area, and is the beginning address of the program's text area.

       The  linker  defines these symbols with the appropriate values if they are referenced by the program but not defined.  The linker issues an
       error if the user attempts to define or

       When execution begins, the program break (the first location beyond the data) coincides with but the program break can be reset by the rou-
       tines  of  brk(2),  malloc(3C),	standard input/output (stdio(3S)), the profile option of cc(1), and so on.  Thus, the current value of the
       program break should be determined by (see brk(2)).

WARNINGS
       In C, these names must look like addresses.  Thus, use instead of to access the current value of end.
