.Sh NAME
.Nm pmap_mincore
.Nd determine if a virtual address is resident in physical memory
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In sys/param.h
.In vm/vm.h
.In vm/pmap.h
.Ft int
.Fn pmap_mincore "pmap_t pmap" "vm_offset_t addr"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn pmap_mincore
function determines if the page at the virtual address
.Fa addr
in the physical map
.Fa pmap
is resident in physical memory.
It is the machine-dependent interface used by
.Xr mincore 2
system call.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
If the page is resident in physical memory,
a mask of flags is returned,
whose meaning is documented in
.Xr mincore 2 ;
otherwise,
.Ql 0
is returned.
.Pp
The
.Fa pmap
must exist and
.Fa addr
must be mapped into the
.Fa pmap .
If any error occurs, the machine-dependent implementation should
return
.Ql 0 .
