NAME
end, etext, edata - last locations in program
SYNTAX
extern end;
extern etext;
extern edata;
extern eprol;
DESCRIPTION
These names refer neither to routines nor to locations with
interesting contents. The address of is the first address
above the program text, above the initialized data region,
and is the first instruction of the user's program that fol-
lows the runtime startup routine.
When execution begins, the program break coincides with but
it is reset by the routines standard input/output the pro-
file (-p) option of and so forth. The current value of the
program break is reliably returned by sbrk(0). For further
information, see

NAME
end, etext, edata - last locations in program
SYNOPSIS
extern end;
extern etext;
extern edata;
DESCRIPTION
These names refer neither to routines nor to locations with
interesting contents. The address of etext is the first
address above the program text, edata above the initialized
data region, and end above the uninitialized data region.
When execution begins, the program break coincides with end,
but it is reset by the routines brk(2), malloc(3), standard
input/output (stdio(3S)), the profile (-p) option of cc(1),
etc. The current value of the program break is reliably
returned by `sbrk(0)', see brk(2).
