.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In stdlib.h
|
|
.Ft char *
|
|
.Fn getbsize "int *headerlenp" "long *blocksizep"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getbsize
|
|
function determines the user's preferred block size based on the value of the
|
|
.Dq BLOCKSIZE
|
|
environment variable; see
|
|
.Xr environ 7
|
|
for details on its use and format.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getbsize
|
|
function returns a pointer to a null-terminated string describing
|
|
the block size, something like
|
|
.Dq 1K-blocks .
|
|
The memory referenced by
|
|
.Fa headerlenp
|
|
is filled in with the length of the string (not including the
|
|
terminating null).
|
|
The memory referenced by
|
|
.Fa blocksizep
|
|
is filled in with block size, in bytes.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the user's block size is unreasonable, a warning message is
|
|
written to standard error and the returned information reflects
|
|
a block size of 512 bytes.
