Description-en: Development files to build programs using libhugetlbfs
libhugetlbfs is a library which provides easy access to huge pages of
memory. It is a wrapper for the hugetlbfs file system. Applications
can use huge pages to fulfill malloc() requests without being
recompiled by using LD_PRELOAD. Alternatively, applications can be
linked against libhugetlbfs without source modifications to load text
or BSS or BSS, data, and text segments into large pages. The library
also comes with several userspace tools to help with huge page
usability, environment setup, and control.
.
This package ships the library development files.
