GETPAGESIZES(3)GETPAGESIZES(3)NAMEgetpagesizes - Get the system supported huge page sizes
SYNOPSIS
#include <hugetlbfs.h>
int getpagesizes(long pagesizes[], int n_elem);
DESCRIPTION
The getpagesizes() function returns either the number of system sup‐
ported page sizes or the sizes themselves. If pagesizes is NULL and
n_elem is 0, then the number of pages the system supports is returned.
Otherwise, pagesizes is filled with at most n_elem page sizes.
RETURN VALUE
On success, either the number of page sizes supported by the system or
the number of page sizes stored in pagesizes is returned. On failure,
-1 is returned and errno is set appropriately.
ERRORS
EINVAL n_elem is less than zero or n_elem is greater than zero and
pagesizes is NULL.
Also see opendir(3) for other possible values for errno. This error
occurs when the sysfs directory exists but cannot be opened.
NOTES
This call will return all page sizes as reported by the kernel. Not
all of these sizes may be usable by the programmer since mount points
may not be available for the huge page sizes. To test whether a size
will be usable by libhugetlbfs, hugetlbfs_find_path_for_size() can be
called on a specific size to see if a mount point is configured.
