    END(3)		    UNIX Programmer's Manual		   END(3)

    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).

    SEE ALSO
         brk(2), malloc(3)
