.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include \*[Lt]sys/mman.h\*[Gt]
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn mincore "void *addr" "size_t len" "char *vec"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn mincore
|
|
system call
|
|
allows a process to obtain information about whether pages are
|
|
core resident.
|
|
The status of the memory range is returned in the character-per-page array
|
|
.Ar vec .
|
|
If the page is resident, the least significant bit of the corresponding
|
|
character in
|
|
.Ar vec
|
|
will be set.
|
|
Other bits are reserved for additional information
|
|
which future implementations may return.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that the status of each page may change between the call to
|
|
.Fn mincore
|
|
and the return of the page status information.
|
|
In order to guarantee
|
|
that pages will remain in core, the address range must be locked with
|
|
.Xr mlock 2 .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Fn mincore
|
|
returns 0 on success, or -1 on failure and sets the variable
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
to indicate the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn mincore
|
|
call will fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EFAULT
|
|
.Ar vec
|
|
points to an illegal address.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
.Ar addr
|
|
is not a multiple of the system page size.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
.Ar len
|
|
is equal to 0.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOMEM
|
|
The address range specified is invalid for the calling process,
|
|
or one or more of the pages specified in the range are not mapped.
