NAME
zero - source of zeroes DESCRIPTION
A zero special file is a source of zeroed unnamed memory. Reads from a zero special file always return a buffer full of zeroes. The file is of infinite length. Writes to a zero special file are always successful, but the data written is ignored. Mapping a zero special file creates a zero-initialized unnamed memory object of a length equal to the length of the mapping and rounded up to the nearest page size as returned by sysconf. Multiple processes can share such a zero special file object provided a common ancestor mapped the object MAP_SHARED. FILES
/dev/zero SEE ALSO

NAME
getpagesize - get system page size SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h> int getpagesize(void); DESCRIPTION
The getpagesize() function returns the number of bytes in a page. Page granularity is the granularity of many of the memory management calls. The page size is a system page size and need not be the same as the underlying hardware page size. The getpagesize() function is equivalent to sysconf(_SC_PAGE_SIZE) and sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE). See sysconf(3C). RETURN VALUES
The getpagesize() function returns the current page size. ERRORS
No errors are defined. USAGE
The value returned by getpagesize() need not be the minimum value that malloc(3C) can allocate. Moreover, the application cannot assume that an object of this size can be allocated with malloc(). ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |MT-Level |MT-Safe | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO
