GETBSIZE(3) | Library Functions Manual | GETBSIZE(3) |
The getbsize function returns a pointer to a NUL terminated string describing the block size, something like “1K-blocks”. If the headerlenp parameter is not NULL the memory referenced by headerlenp is filled in with the length of the string (not including the terminating NUL). If the blocksizep parameter is not NULL the memory referenced by blocksizep is filled in with block size, in bytes.
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.
