plock(2) System Calls Manual plock(2)
NAME
plock() - lock process, text, data, stack, or shared library in memory
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The system call allows the calling process to lock the text segment of the process (text lock), its data segment (data lock), or both its
text and data segment (process lock) into memory. Stack segments are also locked when data segments are locked. Shared library text and
shared library data segments (shlib lock) can also be locked. Locked segments are immune to all routine swapping. also allows these seg-
ments to be unlocked.
The effective user ID of the calling process must be a user with the privilege.
op must be one of the following:
Lock text and data segments into memory (process lock)
Lock text segment into memory (text lock)
Lock data segment into memory (data lock)
Remove locks
Lock shared library text and shared library data segments (shared library lock)
Lock text, data and shared library text and shared library data segments
into memory (process and shared library lock)
Lock text, shared library text and shared library data segments into memory
(text and shared library lock)
Lock data, shared library text and shared library data segments into memory
(data and shared library lock)
Although and the family of functions may be used together in an application, each may affect the other in unexpected ways. This
practice is not recommended.

Processes owned by other users may have this privilege, depending on system configuration. See privileges(5) for more information about
privileged access on systems that support fine-grained privileges.
RETURN VALUE
