rmalloc(9r)							   rmalloc(9r)

NAME
       rmalloc - General: Allocates size units from the given resource map

SYNOPSIS
       long rmalloc(
	       struct map *map_struct,
	       long size );

ARGUMENTS
       Specifies  a pointer to a map structure that was previously initialized
       by a call to rminit.  Specifies the size of the units to allocate.

DESCRIPTION
       The rmalloc routine allocates size units from the given	resource  map.
       In a map, the addresses are increasing, and the list is terminated by a
       zero size.  The actual units managed by the map are arbitrary  and  can
       be map registers, bytes, blocks, and so forth.

NOTES
       The  caller  is responsible for providing any locking necessary for the
       map structure that the system passes to the rmalloc routine.

RETURN VALUES
       The rmalloc routine returns the base of the allocated space. It returns
       an error if no space could be allocated.

SEE ALSO
       Routines: rmfree(9r), rmget(9r), rminit(9r)
