NAME

       getpagesizes - get system supported page sizes

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/mman.h>

       int getpagesizes(size_t pagesize[], int nelem);

DESCRIPTION

       The getpagesizes() function returns either the number of different page sizes supported by the system or the actual sizes themselves.  When
       called with nelem as 0 and pagesize as NULL, getpagesizes() returns the number of supported page sizes. Otherwise, up to nelem  page  sizes
       are  retrieved and assigned to successive elements  of pagesize[].  The return value is the number of page sizes retrieved and set in page-
       size[].

RETURN VALUES

       Upon successful completion, the number of pagesizes supported or actually retrieved is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned and errno is set
       to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       The getpagesizes() function will fail if:

       EINVAL	       The nelem argument is less than 0 or pagesize is NULL but nelem is non-zero.

USAGE

       The  getpagesizes()  function returns all the page sizes for which the hardware and system software provide support for the memcntl(2) com-
       mand MC_HAT_ADVISE. Not all processors support all page sizes or combinations of page sizes with equal efficiency. Applications programmers
       should take this into consideration when using getpagesizes().
