NAME
     libmapmalloc - alternative memory allocator library

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag... ] file... -lmapmalloc [ library... ]
     #include 


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 infor-
     mation on shared object interfaces.



     calloc                        cfree
     free                          mallinfo
     malloc                        mallopt
     memalign                      realloc
     valloc
