NAME
     libmapmalloc - an alternative memory allocator library

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

     #include <stdlib.h>

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

     The shared  object  libmapmalloc.so.1  provides  the  public
     interfaces defined below.

     For additional information on shared object interfaces,  see
     intro(3).

INTERFACES

     calloc               cfree                 free
     mallinfo             malloc                mallopt
     memalign             realloc               valloc
