What an odd question. Everything you do is virtual memory.
int line[120];
The array "line" will be in virtual memory. For dynamic allocations there is malloc(). Even if you lock an item into core, it will still be virtual and the virtual addresses will be translated to physical addresses as it is used.

NAME
mem, kmem, allkmem - physical or virtual memory access
SYNOPSIS
/dev/mem
/dev/kmem
/dev/allkmem
DESCRIPTION
The file /dev/mem is a special file that provides access to the physical memory of the computer.
The file /dev/kmem is a special file that provides access to the virtual address space of the operating system kernel, excluding memory
that is associated with an I/O device.
The file /dev/allkmem is a special file that provides access to the virtual address space of the operating system kernel, including memory
that is associated with an I/O device. You can use any of these devices to examine and modify the system.
Byte addresses in /dev/mem are interpreted as physical memory addresses. Byte addresses in /dev/kmem and /dev/allkmem are interpreted as
kernel virtual memory addresses. A reference to a non-existent location returns an error. See ERRORS for more information.
The file /dev/mem accesses physical memory; the size of the file is equal to the amount of physical memory in the computer. This size may
be larger than 4GB on a system running the 32-bit operating environment. In this case, you can access memory beyond 4GB using a series of
read(2) and write(2) calls, a pread64() or pwrite64() call, or a combination of llseek(2) and read(2) or write(2).
ERRORS
EFAULT Occurs when trying to write(2) a read-only location (allkmem), read(2) a write-only location (allkmem), or read(2) or
write(2) a non-existent or unimplemented location (mem, kmem, allkmem).
EIO Occurs when trying to read(2) or write(2) a memory location that is associated with an I/O device using the /dev/kmem spe-
cial file.
ENXIO Results from attempting to mmap(2) a non-existent physical (mem) or virtual (kmem, allkmem) memory address.
FILES
/dev/mem Provides access to the computer's physical memory.
/dev/kmem Provides access to the virtual address space of the operating system kernel, excluding memory that is associated with an
I/O device.
/dev/allkmem Provides access to the virtual address space of the operating system kernel, including memory that is associated with an
I/O device.
SEE ALSO
llseek(2), mmap(2), read(2), write(2)
WARNINGS
Using these devices to modify (that is, write to) the address space of a live running operating system or to modify the state of a
hardware device is extremely dangerous and may result in a system panic if kernel data structures are damaged or if device state is
changed.
