#include <stdlib.h> char *
getbsize (int *headerlenp long *blocksizep);
DESCRIPTION
The
getbsize ();
function determines the user's preferred block size based on the value of the
``BLOCKSIZE''
environment variable; see
environ(7)
for details on its use and format.
The
getbsize ();
function returns a pointer to a null-terminated string describing
the block size, something like
``1K-blocks''
The memory referenced by
Fa headerlenp
is filled in with the length of the string (not including the
terminating null).
The memory referenced by
Fa blocksizep
is filled in with block size, in bytes.
If the user's block size is unreasonable, a warning message is
written to standard error and the returned information reflects
a block size of 512 bytes.
