NAME AvailMem -- memory available given certain requirements SYNOPSIS size = AvailMem(attributes) D0 D1 ULONG AvailMem(ULONG); FUNCTION This function returns the amount of free memory given certain attributes. To find out what the largest block of a particular type is, add MEMF_LARGEST into the requirements argument. Returning the largest block is a slow operation. WARNING Due to the effect of multitasking, the value returned may not actually be the amount of free memory available at that instant. INPUTS requirements - a requirements mask as specified in allocmem. any of the allocmem bits are valid, as is memf_largest which returns the size of the largest block matching the requirements. RESULT size - total free space remaining (or the largest free block). NOTE For V36 Exec, AvailMem(MEMF_LARGEST) does a consistency check on the memory list. alert an_memoryinsane will be pulled if any mismatch is noted. EXAMPLE AvailMem(MEMF_CHIP|MEMF_LARGEST); /* return size of largest available chip memory chunk */ SEE ALSO exec/memory.h
