NAME

     __arraycount -- macro for statically allocated arrays

SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/cdefs.h>

     size_t
     __arraycount(x);

DESCRIPTION

     The __arraycount() macro returns the number of elements in a statically allocated buffer.

EXAMPLES

     The following example demonstrates a typical usage of __arraycount():

	   uint8_t buf[BUFSIZE];
	   size_t i;

	   ...

	   for (i = 0; i < __arraycount(buf); i++)
		   ...

SEE ALSO

     cdefs(3)

HISTORY

     The __arraycount() macro first appeared in NetBSD 4.0.

NAME

     cdefs -- common definitions and macros

SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/cdefs.h>

DESCRIPTION

     The <sys/cdefs.h> header includes some common definitions and macros typical to the C language conventions of NetBSD.  Among these are:

	   o   Certain C language properties and definitions that are versioned according to the support in compilers.	Examples include the
	       __func__ keyword and the restrict type qualifier from C99.

	   o   Macros and definitions specific to compilers, preprocessors, and linkers; see __CONCAT(3), __UNCONST(3), __insn_barrier(3), and
	       attribute(3).

	   o   Utility macros provided for convenience; see __arraycount(3) and bits(3).

     The header also contains the __RCSID() and __KERNEL_RCSID() macros used for version control system (VCS) identifiers.  Thus, all NetBSD
     source code files typically include <sys/cdefs.h>, included as the first thing right after any possible copyright texts;

	   /*-

	    * with or without modification, are permitted.
	    */

	   #include <sys/cdefs.h>
	   __RCSID("$NetBSD: cdefs.3,v 1.3 2011/04/08 07:55:04 jruoho Exp $");

     It is possible to identify the RCS keyword strings by using ident(1).

HISTORY

     The <sys/cdefs.h> header was originally imported from 386BSD.
