-.SH NAME
-end, etext, edata \- last locations in program
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.nf
-.B extern end;
-.B extern etext;
-.B extern edata;
-.fi
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-These names refer neither to routines nor to locations with interesting
-contents.  The address of
-.I etext
-is the first address above the program text,
-.I edata
-above the initialized data region, and
-.I end
-above the uninitialized data region.
-.PP
-When execution begins, the program break coincides with
-.I end,
-but it is reset by the routines
-.IR brk (2),
-.IR malloc (3), 
-standard input/output
-.RI ( stdio (3)),
-the profile
-.RB ( \-p )
-option of 
-.IR cc (1),
-etc.
-The current value of the program break is reliably returned by `sbrk(0)',
-see
-.IR brk (2).
