groff(1) has changed the internal layout for the .Lb doc strings, but to preserve backwards compatibility we cannot simply rename them, we need to create new aliases so that these will work with old and new macros. Signed-off-by: Guillem Jover <guillem@hadrons.org>

|
|
.In stdlib.h
|
|
(See
|
|
.Xr libbsd 7
|
|
for include usage.)

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getbsize
|
|
function returns a preferred block size for reporting by system utilities
|
|
.Xr df 1 ,
|
|
.Xr du 1 ,
|
|
.Xr ls 1
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr systat 1 ,
|
|
based on the value of the
|
|
.Ev BLOCKSIZE
|
|
environment variable.
|
|
.Ev BLOCKSIZE
|
|
may be specified directly in bytes, or in multiples of a kilobyte by
|
|
specifying a number followed by ``K'' or ``k'', in multiples of a
|
|
megabyte by specifying a number followed by ``M'' or ``m'' or in
|
|
multiples of a gigabyte by specifying a number followed by ``G'' or
|
|
``g''.
|
|
Multiples must be integers.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Valid values of
|
|
.Ev BLOCKSIZE
|
|
are 512 bytes to 1 gigabyte.
|
|
Sizes less than 512 bytes are rounded up to 512 bytes, and sizes
|
|
greater than 1 GB are rounded down to 1 GB.
|
|
In each case
|
|
.Fn getbsize
|
|
produces a warning message.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getbsize
|
|
function returns a pointer to a null-terminated string describing
|
|
the block size, something like
|
|
.Dq 1K-blocks .
|
|
The memory referenced by
|
|
.Fa headerlenp
|
|
is filled in with the length of the string (not including the
|
|
terminating null).
|
|
The memory referenced by
|
|
.Fa blocksizep
|
|
is filled in with block size, in bytes.
