If optional +.I maximum +is provided, then program will terminate after reaching this amount of allocated memory in mebibytes. In case this +value is invalid or does not make sense, then program will not attempt to consume the memory, and will indicate a +failure in the exit status. +.SH EXIT STATUS +Program is expected to be terminated externally, so exit status may depend on the execution environment. If +.I maximum +is specified, then 0 will be returned after reaching the boundary, or 1 will be returned if the provided argument +could not be understood. +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR free (3) |
