MALLOC_SIZE(3) BSD Library Functions Manual MALLOC_SIZE(3) NAME malloc_good_size, malloc_size -- memory allocation information SYNOPSIS #include <malloc/malloc.h> size_t malloc_good_size(size_t size); size_t malloc_size(const void *ptr); DESCRIPTION The malloc_size() function returns the size of the memory block that backs the allocation pointed to by ptr. The memory block size is always at least as large as the allocation it backs, and may be larger. The malloc_good_size() function rounds size up to a value that the allo-cator allocator cator implementation can allocate without adding any padding; it then returns that rounded-up value.
