MALLOC_SIZE(3) BSD Library Functions Manual MALLOC_SIZE(3)NAME
malloc_good_size, malloc_size -- memory allocation information
SYNOPSIS
#include <malloc/malloc.h>
size_t
malloc_good_size(size_t size);
size_t
malloc_size(const void *ptr);
DESCRIPTION
The malloc_size() function returns the size of the memory block that backs the allocation pointed to by ptr. The memory block size is always
at least as large as the allocation it backs, and may be larger.
The malloc_good_size() function rounds size up to a value that the allocator implementation can allocate without adding any padding; it then
returns that rounded-up value.

void *
malloc_zone_memalign(malloc_zone_t *zone, size_t alignment, size_t size);
void
malloc_zone_free(malloc_zone_t *zone, void *ptr);
DESCRIPTION
The malloc_create_zone() function creates a malloc zone, advising an initial allocation of start_size bytes, and specifying flags that alter
the standard behavior of the zone. The returned malloc zone can be used to provide custom allocation and deallocation behavior, and to
retrieve additional information about the allocations in that zone.
The malloc_destroy_zone() function deallocates all memory associated with objects in zone as well as zone itself.
The malloc_default_zone() function returns the default system malloc zone, used by malloc(3), and free(3).
The malloc_zone_from_ptr() function returns a pointer to the malloc zone which contains ptr or NULL, if the pointer does not point to an
allocated object in any current malloc zone.
The malloc_zone_malloc(), malloc_zone_calloc(), malloc_zone_valloc(), malloc_zone_realloc(), malloc_zone_memalign(), and malloc_zone_free()
perform the same task on zone as their non-prefixed variants, malloc(3), calloc(3), valloc(3), realloc(3), posix_memalign(3), and free(3)
perform on the default system malloc zone.
RETURN VALUES
The malloc_create_zone(), malloc_default_zone(), and malloc_zone_from_ptr() functions return a pointer to a malloc_zone_t structure, or NULL
if there was an error.
The malloc_zone_malloc(), malloc_zone_calloc(), malloc_zone_valloc(), malloc_zone_realloc(), and malloc_zone_memalign() functions return a
pointer to allocated memory. If there is an error, they return a NULL pointer. They are not required to set errno.

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.

Greetings,
I'm trying to delete a file with a weird name from within Terminal on a Mac.

Hi all...
Well guys and gals, I jumped in at the deep end and found things that PERL cannot do by default.
Many tricky terminal escape codes are not catered for so I had to create workarounds.

Well, guys I saw a question about GOTO for Python.
So this gave me the inspiration to attempt a GOTO function for 'dash', (bash and ksh too).
