SYNOPSIS

     getpagesize(void);


DESCRIPTION

     This interface is obsoleted by sysconf(3).

     getpagesize() returns the number of bytes in a page.  Page granularity is
     the granularity of many of the memory management calls.

     The page size is a system page size and may not be the same as the under-
     lying hardware page size.
