PASCAL

block_size = PMDF_get_block_size

C

block_size = PMDFgetBlockSize ()

int PMDFgetBlockSize()

Arguments

None.

Description

PMDF measures message sizes in units of "blocks". Units of blocks are used when recording message sizes in log files and when determining if a message is large enough to warrant being fragmented into smaller messages. By default, a block is 1024 bytes; however, sites can change this size of a block with the BLOCK_SIZE option in the PMDF option file.

Return Values

block_size

The size in bytes of a PMDF block.
