posix_madvise

POSIX_MADVISE(3)					     Linux Programmer's Manual						  POSIX_MADVISE(3)

NAME

       posix_madvise - give advice about patterns of memory usage

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/mman.h>

       int posix_madvise(void *addr, size_t len, int advice);

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       posix_madvise():
	   _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L

DESCRIPTION

       The posix_madvise() function allows an application to advise the system about its expected patterns of usage of memory in the address range
       starting at addr and continuing for len bytes.  The system is free to use this advice  in  order  to  improve  the  performance	of  memory
       accesses (or to ignore the advice altogether), but calling posix_madvise() shall not affect the semantics of access to memory in the speci-
       fied range.

       The advice argument is one of the following:

       POSIX_MADV_NORMAL
	      The application has no special advice regarding its memory usage patterns for the specified address  range.   This  is  the  default
	      behavior.

       POSIX_MADV_SEQUENTIAL
	      The  application	expects  to  access  the  specified  address range sequentially, running from lower addresses to higher addresses.
	      Hence, pages in this region can be aggressively read ahead, and may be freed soon after they are accessed.

       POSIX_MADV_RANDOM
	      The application expects to access the specified address range randomly.  Thus, read ahead may be less useful than normally.

       POSIX_MADV_WILLNEED
	      The application expects to access the specified address range in the near future.  Thus, read ahead may be beneficial.

       POSIX_MADV_DONTNEED
	      The application expects that it will not access the specified address range in the near future.

RETURN VALUE

       On success, posix_madvise() returns 0.  On failure, it returns a positive error number.

ERRORS

       EINVAL addr is not a multiple of the system page size or len is negative.

       EINVAL advice is invalid.

       ENOMEM Addresses in the specified range are partially or completely outside the caller's address space.

VERSIONS

       Support for posix_madvise() first appeared in glibc version 2.2.

CONFORMING TO

       POSIX.1-2001.

NOTES

       POSIX.1 permits an implementation to generate an error if len is 0.  On Linux, specifying len as 0 is permitted (as a successful no-op).

       In glibc, this function is implemented using madvise(2).  However, since glibc 2.6, POSIX_MADV_DONTNEED is treated as a no-op, because  the
       corresponding madvise(2) value, MADV_DONTNEED, has destructive semantics.
