|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn vslock
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn vsunlock
|
|
functions respectively lock and unlock a range of
|
|
addresses belonging to the currently running process into memory.
|
|
The actual amount of memory locked is a multiple of the machine's page size.
|
|
The starting page number is computed by truncating
|
|
.Fa addr
|
|
to the nearest preceding page boundary, and by rounding up
|
|
.Fa addr +
|
|
.Fa len
|
|
to the next page boundary.
|
|
The process context to use for this operation is taken from the
|
|
global variable
|
|
.Va curproc .
