DESCRIPTION

PMDF measures message sizes in units of "blocks". Units of blocks are used when recording message sizes in log files and when determining if a message is large enough to warrant being fragmented into smaller messages. By default, a block is 1024 bytes; however, sites may change this size of a block with the BLOCK_SIZE option in the PMDF option file.
Return Values
block_size The size in bytes of a PMDF block.
