Syntax

VOIDP Ssbrk( len )
WORD len;

Function      Ssbrk() is designed to reserve memory at the top of RAM
              prior to the initialization of GEMDOS.

Opcode        1 (0x01)

Availability  All TOS versions.

Parameters    len is a WORD value specifying the number of bytes to
              reserve at the top of RAM.

Binding       move.w   len,-(sp)
              move.w   #$01,-(sp)
              trap     #14
              addq.l   #4,sp

Return Value  Ssbrk() returns a pointer to the allocated block.

Caveats       Ssbrk() was only used on early development systems.
              Currently the function is unimplemented and does not do
              anything.
