GETPAGESIZES(3) BSD Library Functions Manual GETPAGESIZES(3)NAME
getpagesizes — get system page sizes
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/mman.h>
int
getpagesizes(size_t pagesize[], int nelem);
DESCRIPTION
The getpagesizes() function retrieves page size information from the sys‐
tem. When it is called with pagesize specified as NULL and nelem speci‐
fied as 0, it returns the number of distinct page sizes that are sup‐
ported by the system. Otherwise, it assigns up to nelem of the system-
supported page sizes to consecutive elements of the array referenced by
pagesize. These page sizes are expressed in bytes. In this case,
getpagesizes() returns the number of such page sizes that it assigned to
the array.
RETURN VALUES
If successful, the getpagesizes() function returns either the number of
page sizes that are supported by the system or the number of supported
page sizes that it assigned to the array referenced by pagesize. Other‐
wise, it returns the value -1 and sets errno to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The getpagesizes() function will succeed unless:
[EINVAL] The pagesize argument is NULL and the nelem argument
is non-zero.
[EINVAL] The nelem argument is less than zero.
