I'm a new guy to this field and I'm learning a lot about UNIX! Can any explan to me what exactly does 'heap size' mean and how can i increase the size for AIX 4.3.3?
Found the following at
heap - In programming, the common pool of free memory available to the program.
Heap space - scratch, or memory allocated by malloc() is allocated from anonymous memory and mapped read/write.
Look at the /etc/security/limits for the apropiate changes.
Good luck. Hugo.
