  34 /*  FUNCTION
  35         Return either the total available memory or the largest available
  36         chunk of a given type of memory.
  37
  38     INPUTS
  39         attributes - The same attributes you would give to AllocMem().
  40
  41     RESULT
  42         Either the total of the available memory or the largest chunk if
  43         MEMF_LARGEST is set in the attributes.
  44
  45     NOTES
  46         Due to the nature of multitasking the returned value may already
  47         be obsolete when this function returns.
  48
  49     EXAMPLE
  50         Print the total available memory.
  51
  52         printf("Free memory: %lu bytes\n", AvailMem(0));
  53
  54         Print the size of the largest chunk of chip memory.
  55
  56         printf("Largest chipmem chunk: %lu bytes\n",
  57                AvailMem(MEMF_CHIP | MEMF_LARGEST));
