.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Nm mmap
|
||
|
|
function causes the pages starting at
|
||
|
|
.Fa addr
|
||
|
|
and continuing for at most
|
||
|
|
.Fa len
|
||
|
|
bytes to be mapped from the object described by
|
||
|
|
.Fa fd ,
|
||
|
|
starting at byte offset
|
||
|
|
.Fa offset .
|
||
|
|
If
|
||
|
|
.Fa offset
|
||
|
|
or
|
||
|
|
.Fa len
|
||
|
|
is not a multiple of the pagesize, the mapped region may extend past the
|
||
|
|
specified range.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
If
|
||
|
|
.Fa addr
|
||
|
|
is non-zero, it is used as a hint to the system.
|
||
|
|
(As a convenience to the system, the actual address of the region may differ
|
||
|
|
from the address supplied.)
|
||
|
|
If
|
||
|
|
.Fa addr
|
||
|
|
is zero, an address will be selected by the system.
|
||
|
|
The actual starting address of the region is returned.
|
||
|
|
A successful
|
||
|
|
.Fa mmap
|
||
|
|
deletes any previous mapping in the allocated address range.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
The protections (region accessibility) are specified in the
|
||
|
|
.Fa prot
|
||
|
|
argument by
|
||
|
|
.Em or Ns 'ing
|

|
|

|
.Pp
|

|
|
.It Dv PROT_EXEC
|
||
|
|
Pages may be executed.
|
||
|
|
.It Dv PROT_READ
|
||
|
|
Pages may be read.
|
||
|
|
.It Dv PROT_WRITE
|
||
|
|
Pages may be written.
|
||
|
|
.El
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Fa flags
|
||
|
|
parameter specifies the type of the mapped object, mapping options and
|
||
|
|
whether modifications made to the mapped copy of the page are private
|
||
|
|
to the process or are to be shared with other references.
|
||
|
|
Sharing, mapping type and options are specified in the
|
||
|
|
.Fa flags
|
||
|
|
argument by
|
||
|
|
.Em or Ns 'ing
|
||
|
|
the following values:
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
.Bl -tag -width MAP_FIXEDX
|
||
|
|
.It Dv MAP_ANON
|
||
|
|
Map anonymous memory not associated with any specific file.
|
||
|
|
The file descriptor used for creating
|
||
|
|
.Dv MAP_ANON
|
||
|
|
regions is used only for
|
||
|
|
naming, and may be specified as \-1 if no name is associated with the
|
||
|
|
region.
|
||
|
|
.\".It Dv MAP_FILE
|
||
|
|
.\"Mapped from a regular file or character-special device memory.
|
||
|
|
.It Dv MAP_FIXED
|
||
|
|
Do not permit the system to select a different address than the one
|
||
|
|
specified.
|
||
|
|
If the specified address cannot be used,
|
||
|
|
.Nm mmap
|
||
|
|
will fail.
|
||
|
|
If MAP_FIXED is specified,
|
||
|
|
.Fa addr
|
||
|
|
must be a multiple of the pagesize.
|
||
|
|
Use of this option is discouraged.
|
||
|
|
.It Dv MAP_HASSEMAPHORE
|
||
|
|
Notify the kernel that the region may contain semaphores and that special
|
||
|
|
handling may be necessary.
|
||
|
|
.It Dv MAP_INHERIT
|
||
|
|
Permit regions to be inherited across
|
||
|
|
.Xr exec 2
|
||
|
|
system calls.
|
||
|
|
.It Dv MAP_PRIVATE
|
||
|
|
Modifications are private.
|
||
|
|
.It Dv MAP_SHARED
|
||
|
|
Modifications are shared.
|
||
|
|
.El
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Xr close 2
|
||
|
|
function does not unmap pages, see
|
||
|
|
.Xr munmap 2
|
||
|
|
for further information.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
The current design does not allow a process to specify the location of
|
||
|
|
swap space.
|
||
|
|
In the future we may define an additional mapping type,
|
||
|
|
.Dv MAP_SWAP ,
|
||
|
|
in which
|
||
|
|
the file descriptor argument specifies a file or device to which swapping
|
||
|
|
should be done.
|
||
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
||
|
|
Upon successful completion,
|
||
|
|
.Nm mmap
|
||
|
|
returns a pointer to the mapped region.
|
||
|
|
Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and
|
||
|
|
.Va errno
|
||
|
|
is set to indicate the error.
|
||
|
