Yes, thank you. I just read the manpage.

For completeness:

int 4 int32_t 4 _acme 4 gizmo 16 gizmo[0]->data 4 gizmo[1]->data 4 &gizmo[0] 0x7ffcf0263680 &gizmo[1] 0x7ffcf0263688 &gizmo[0]->data 0x55d34e8cf6b0 &gizmo[1]->data 0x55d34e8cf6d0 malloc_usable_size(gizmo[0]) 24 malloc_usable_size(gizmo[1]) 24

”…there's a minimum size the system can allocate”

Secrecy? From ibidem: ”Secrets are sometimes kept to provide the pleasure of surprise.”

Best regards, Karl
