.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBmeminfo()\fR function provides information about virtual and physical
memory particular to the calling process.  The user or developer of performance
utilities can use this information to analyze system memory allocations and
develop a better understanding of the factors affecting application
performance.
.sp
.LP
The caller of \fBmeminfo()\fR can obtain the following types of information
about both virtual and physical memory.
.sp

.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
Upon successful completion \fBmeminfo()\fR returns 0. Otherwise \(mi1 is
returned and \fBerrno\fR is set to indicate the error.
