 _nmsize()               Return Size of Near Memory Block

 #include   <malloc.h>                   Required for declarations only

 size_t  _nmsize(ptr);
 void near  *ptr;                        Pointer to allocated near memory

    _nmsize() returns the number of bytes in the memory block pointed to
    by 'ptr'.  The block should have been allocated with _nmalloc().

    Returns:    Size in bytes of the memory block.

      Notes:    Use _msize() to get the size of blocks allocated with
                malloc(), calloc(), or realloc(). Use _fmsize() to get
                the size of blocks allocated with _fmalloc().

 Portability:   Applies to MS DOS only.

   -------------------------------- Example ---------------------------------

    The following statements allocate 500 bytes in a near data segment
    and then report the size of the allocated memory.

           #include <malloc.h>
           #include <stdio.h>     /* for printf and NULL */

           char near *near_memptr;

           main()
           {
               if ((near_memptr = _nmalloc(500)) == NULL)
                   printf("not enough room to allocate memory\n");
               else
                   printf("%u bytes allocated\n", _nmsize(near_memptr));
           }
