I need some help with what I think is a nonstandard UNIX system
call in some code that I got from another site. The call is to
a subroutine called falloc; it occurs in fortran code. I can find
no reference to falloc, but I know that it is a call for dynamic
memory allocation. I think that I can replace it with
calloc,malloc,etc. But in order to do so I need to know what falloc
is doing. Could somebody give me a detailed description of falloc
included a list of its arguments, their types, and whether they are
input or output? Please mail responses to:
