       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The OS

       The _p_o_s_i_x___t_y_p_e_d___m_e_m___g_e_t___i_n_f_o() function shall return, in the
       _p_o_s_i_x___t_m_i___l_e_n_g_t_h field of the ppoossiixx__ttyyppeedd__mmeemm__iinnffoo structure pointed to
       by _i_n_f_o, the maximum length which may be successfully allocated by the
       typed memory object designated by _f_i_l_d_e_s.  This maximum length shall
       take into account the flag POSIX_TYPED_MEM_ALLOCATE or
       POSIX_TYPED_MEM_ALLOCATE_CONTIG specified when the typed memory object
       represented by _f_i_l_d_e_s was opened. The maximum length is dynamic;
       therefore, the value returned is valid only while the current mapping
       of the corresponding typed memory pool remains unchanged.

       If _f_i_l_d_e_s represents a typed memory object opened with neither the
       POSIX_TYPED_MEM_ALLOCATE flag nor the POSIX_TYPED_MEM_ALLOCATE_CONTIG
       flag specified, the returned value of _i_n_f_o->_p_o_s_i_x___t_m_i___l_e_n_g_t_h is
       unspecified.

       The _p_o_s_i_x___t_y_p_e_d___m_e_m___g_e_t___i_n_f_o() function may return additional
       implementation-defined information in other fields of the
       ppoossiixx__ttyyppeedd__mmeemm__iinnffoo structure pointed to by _i_n_f_o.

       If the memory object specified by _f_i_l_d_e_s is not a typed memory object,
       then the behavior of this function is undefined.

       Upon successful completion, the _p_o_s_i_x___t_y_p_e_d___m_e_m___g_e_t___i_n_f_o() function
       shall return zero; otherwise, the corresponding error status value
       shall be returned.

       The _p_o_s_i_x___t_y_p_e_d___m_e_m___g_e_t___i_n_f_o() function shall fail if:

       EEBBAADDFF  The _f_i_l_d_e_s argument is not a valid open file descriptor.

       EENNOODDEEVV The _f_i_l_d_e_s argument is not connected to a memory object
              supported by this function.

       This function shall not return an error code of [[EEIINNTTRR]].

RRAATTIIOONNAALLEE
       An application that needs to allocate a block of typed memory with
       length dependent upon the amount of memory currently available must
       either query the typed memory object to obtain the amount available, or
       repeatedly invoke _m_m_a_p() attempting to guess an appropriate length.
       While the latter method is existing practice with _m_a_l_l_o_c(), it is
       awkward and imprecise. The _p_o_s_i_x___t_y_p_e_d___m_e_m___g_e_t___i_n_f_o() function allows
       an application to immediately determine available memory. This is
       particularly important for typed memory objects that may in some cases
       be scarce resources. Note that when a typed memory pool is a shared
       resource, some form of mutual-exclusion or synchronization may be
       required while typed memory is being queried and allocated to prevent
       race conditions.

       The existing _f_s_t_a_t() function is not suitable for this purpose. We
       realize that implementations may wish to provide other attributes of
       typed memory objects (for example, alignment requirements, page size,
       and so on).  The _f_s_t_a_t() function returns a structure which is not
       extensible and, furthermore, contains substantial information that is
       inappropriate for typed memory objects.
