+.SH NAME
+get_phys_pages, get_avphys_pages \- get total and available physical
page counts
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B "#include <sys/sysinfo.h>"
+.sp
+.B long int get_phys_pages(void);
+.B long int get_av_phys_pages(void);
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The function
+.BR get_phys_pages ()
+returns the total number of physical pages of memory available on the
system.
+
+The function
+.BR get_avphys_pages ()
+returns the number of currently available physical pages of memory on the
+system.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On success, these functions return a nonnegative value as given in
DESCRIPTION.
+On failure, they return \-1 and set
+.I errno
+to indicate the cause of the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+.TP
+.B ENOSYS
+The system could not provide the required information
+(possibly because the
+.I /proc
+filesystem was not mounted).
+.SH CONFORMING TO
+These functions are GNU extensions.
+.SH NOTES
+These functions obtain the required information by scanning the
+.I MemTotal
+and
+.I MemFree
+fields of
+.IR /proc/meminfo .
+
+The following
+.BR sysconf (3)
+calls provide a portable means of obtaining the same information as the
+functions described on this page.
+
+.nf
+ total_pages = sysconf(_SC_PHYS_PAGES); /* total pages */
+ avl_pages = sysconf(_SC_AVPHYS_PAGES); /* available pages */
+.fi
+.SH EXAMPLE
+The following example shows how
+.BR get_phys_pages ()
+and
+.BR get_avphys_pages ()
+can be used.
+
+.nf
+#include <stdio.h>
+#include <stdlib.h>
+#include <sys/sysinfo.h>
+
+int
+main(int argc, char *argv[])
+{
+ printf("This system has %ld pages of physical memory and "
+ "%ld pages of physical memory available.\\n",
+ get_phys_pages(), get_avphys_pages());
+ exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
+}
