added C code to print pagesize on unix systems
Size of memory page is architecture and operating system dependant. On an x86 and x86_64 hardware, memory page is equal to 4KB. On an Intel Itanium (IA64) memory page size is 16KB.
You can get the actual value on your Linux/UNIX system with the '''getpagesize'''-Syscall. Here is a C Program that prints the pagesize on your system :
<code>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
long sz = sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE);
printf("memory pagesize on this box : %i\n", sz);
return 0;
}
</code>
compile with : gcc -o getpagesize getpagesize.c
