NAME

       libmapmalloc - alternative memory allocator library

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -lmapmalloc [ library... ]
       #include <stdlib.h>

DESCRIPTION

       Functions in this library provide malloc routines that use mmap(2) instead of sbrk(2) for acquiring heap space.

INTERFACES

       The  shared object libmapmalloc.so.1 provides the public interfaces defined below. See intro(3) for additional information on shared object
       interfaces.

       calloc			     cfree
       free			     mallinfo
       malloc			     mallopt
       memalign 		     realloc
       valloc

FILES

       /usr/lib/libmapmalloc.so.1	       shared object

       /usr/lib/64/libmapmalloc.so.1	       64-bit shared object

NAME

       libumem - object-caching memory allocation library

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -lumem [ library... ]
       #include <umem.h>

DESCRIPTION

       Functions  in  this  library provide fast, scalable object-caching memory allocation with multithreaded application support. In addition to
       the standard malloc(3C) family of functions and the more flexible umem_alloc(3MALLOC) family, libumem provides powerful object-caching ser-
       vices as described in umem_cache_create(3MALLOC).

       The  libumem  library also provides extensive debugging support, including  detection of memory leaks, buffer overruns, multiple frees, use
       of uninitialized data, use of freed data, and many other common programming errors. See umem_debug(3MALLOC).

INTERFACES

       The shared object libumem.so.1 provides the public interfaces defined below. See intro(3)  for  additional  information	on  shared  object
       interfaces.

       calloc			     free
       malloc			     memalign
       realloc			     umem_alloc
       umem_cache_alloc 	     umem_cache_create
       umem_cache_destroy	     umem_cache_free
       umem_free		     umem_nofail_callback
       umem_zalloc		     valloc
