+      allocated memory is returned.  Note that

+      resulting in a different return value than <parameter>ptr</parameter>.

+      <parameter>mibp</parameter> contains an array of

+      <parameter>*miblenp</parameter> is the lesser of the number of components
+      in <parameter>name</parameter> and the input value of
+      <parameter>*miblenp</parameter>.  Thus it is possible to pass a

+      within the <parameter>opts</parameter> string.  Note that
+      <function>malloc_message()</function> uses the
+      <function>mallctl*()</function> functions internally, so inconsistent
+      statistics can be reported if multiple threads use these functions
+      simultaneously.  If <option>--enable-stats</option> is specified during

+      omit merged arena and per arena statistics, respectively;
+      <quote>b</quote>, <quote>l</quote>, and <quote>h</quote> can be specified
+      to omit per size class statistics for bins, large objects, and huge
+      objects, respectively.  Unrecognized characters are silently ignored.
+      Note that thread caching may prevent some statistics from being completely

+    <para>Traditionally, allocators have used
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sbrk</refentrytitle>
+    <manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry> to obtain memory, which is
+    suboptimal for several reasons, including race conditions, increased
+    fragmentation, and artificial limitations on maximum usable memory.  If
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sbrk</refentrytitle>
+    <manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry> is supported by the operating
+    system, this allocator uses both
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>mmap</refentrytitle>
+    <manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry> and
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sbrk</refentrytitle>
+    <manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>, in that order of preference;
+    otherwise only <citerefentry><refentrytitle>mmap</refentrytitle>
+    <manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry> is used.</para>
+
+    <para>This allocator uses multiple arenas in order to reduce lock
+    contention for threaded programs on multi-processor systems.  This works
+    well with regard to threading scalability, but incurs some costs.  There is
+    a small fixed per-arena overhead, and additionally, arenas manage memory
+    completely independently of each other, which means a small fixed increase
+    in overall memory fragmentation.  These overheads are not generally an
+    issue, given the number of arenas normally used.  Note that using
+    substantially more arenas than the default is not likely to improve
+    performance, mainly due to reduced cache performance.  However, it may make
+    sense to reduce the number of arenas if an application does not make much
+    use of the allocation functions.</para>
+
+    <para>In addition to multiple arenas, unless
+    <option>--disable-tcache</option> is specified during configuration, this
+    allocator supports thread-specific caching for small and large objects, in
+    order to make it possible to completely avoid synchronization for most
+    allocation requests.  Such caching allows very fast allocation in the
+    common case, but it increases memory usage and fragmentation, since a
+    bounded number of objects can remain allocated in each thread cache.</para>
+
+    <para>Memory is conceptually broken into equal-sized chunks, where the chunk
+    size is a power of two that is greater than the page size.  Chunks are
+    always aligned to multiples of the chunk size.  This alignment makes it
+    possible to find metadata for user objects very quickly.  User objects are
+    broken into three categories according to size: small, large, and huge.
+    Multiple small and large objects can reside within a single chunk, whereas
+    huge objects each have one or more chunks backing them.  Each chunk that
+    contains small and/or large objects tracks its contents as runs of
+    contiguous pages (unused, backing a set of small objects, or backing one
+    large object).  The combination of chunk alignment and chunk page maps makes
+    it possible to determine all metadata regarding small and large allocations
+    in constant time.</para>
+
+    <para>Small objects are managed in groups by page runs.  Each run maintains
+    a bitmap to track which regions are in use.  Allocation requests that are no
+    more than half the quantum (8 or 16, depending on architecture) are rounded
+    up to the nearest power of two that is at least <code
+    language="C">sizeof(<type>double</type>)</code>.  All other object size
+    classes are multiples of the quantum, spaced such that there are four size
+    classes for each doubling in size, which limits internal fragmentation to
+    approximately 20% for all but the smallest size classes.  Small size classes
+    are smaller than four times the page size, large size classes are smaller
+    than the chunk size (see the <link
+    linkend="opt.lg_chunk"><mallctl>opt.lg_chunk</mallctl></link> option), and
+    huge size classes extend from the chunk size up to the largest size class
+    that does not exceed <constant>PTRDIFF_MAX</constant>.</para>
+
+    <para>Allocations are packed tightly together, which can be an issue for
+    multi-threaded applications.  If you need to assure that allocations do not
+    suffer from cacheline sharing, round your allocation requests up to the
+    nearest multiple of the cacheline size, or specify cacheline alignment when
+    allocating.</para>
+
+    <para>The <function>realloc()</function>,
+    <function>rallocx()</function>, and
+    <function>xallocx()</function> functions may resize allocations
+    without moving them under limited circumstances.  Unlike the
+    <function>*allocx()</function> API, the standard API does not
+    officially round up the usable size of an allocation to the nearest size
+    class, so technically it is necessary to call
+    <function>realloc()</function> to grow e.g. a 9-byte allocation to
+    16 bytes, or shrink a 16-byte allocation to 9 bytes.  Growth and shrinkage
+    trivially succeeds in place as long as the pre-size and post-size both round
+    up to the same size class.  No other API guarantees are made regarding
+    in-place resizing, but the current implementation also tries to resize large
+    and huge allocations in place, as long as the pre-size and post-size are
+    both large or both huge.  In such cases shrinkage always succeeds for large
+    size classes, but for huge size classes the chunk allocator must support
+    splitting (see <link
+    linkend="arena.i.chunk_hooks"><mallctl>arena.&lt;i&gt;.chunk_hooks</mallctl></link>).
+    Growth only succeeds if the trailing memory is currently available, and
+    additionally for huge size classes the chunk allocator must support
+    merging.</para>

+        <para>The <type>chunk_hooks_t</type> structure comprises function

+        functions to manage chunk lifetime, which starts off with allocation of
+        mapped committed memory, in the simplest case followed by deallocation.
+        However, there are performance and platform reasons to retain chunks for
+        later reuse.  Cleanup attempts cascade from deallocation to decommit to
+        purging, which gives the chunk management functions opportunities to
+        reject the most permanent cleanup operations in favor of less permanent
+        (and often less costly) operations.  The chunk splitting and merging
+        operations can also be opted out of, but this is mainly intended to
+        support platforms on which virtual memory mappings provided by the
+        operating system kernel do not automatically coalesce and split, e.g.

+    <para>When debugging, it is a good idea to configure/build jemalloc with
+    the <option>--enable-debug</option> and <option>--enable-fill</option>
+    options, and recompile the program with suitable options and symbols for
+    debugger support.  When so configured, jemalloc incorporates a wide variety
+    of run-time assertions that catch application errors such as double-free,
+    write-after-free, etc.</para>
+
+    <para>Programs often accidentally depend on <quote>uninitialized</quote>
+    memory actually being filled with zero bytes.  Junk filling
+    (see the <link linkend="opt.junk"><mallctl>opt.junk</mallctl></link>
+    option) tends to expose such bugs in the form of obviously incorrect
+    results and/or coredumps.  Conversely, zero
+    filling (see the <link
+    linkend="opt.zero"><mallctl>opt.zero</mallctl></link> option) eliminates
+    the symptoms of such bugs.  Between these two options, it is usually
+    possible to quickly detect, diagnose, and eliminate such bugs.</para>
+
+    <para>This implementation does not provide much detail about the problems
+    it detects, because the performance impact for storing such information
+    would be prohibitive.  However, jemalloc does integrate with the most
