+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I Segbrk
+sets the system's idea of the lowest unused location of a segment
+to
+.I addr
+rounded up to the next multiple of a page size, typically 4096 bytes.
+The segment is identified by
+.I saddr
+which may be any valid address within the segment.
+.PP
+A call to
+.I segbrk
+with a zero
+.I addr
+argument returns the address
+of the top of bss.
+.PP
+The system will prevent segments from overlapping and will not allow the
+length of the
+text, data, or stack segment to be altered.
