VFREE(9)						    Memory Management in Linux							  VFREE(9)

NAME
vfree - release memory allocated by vmalloc SYNOPSIS
void vfree(const void * addr); ARGUMENTS
addr memory base address DESCRIPTION
Free the virtually continuous memory area starting at addr, as obtained from vmalloc, vmalloc_32 or __vmalloc. If addr is NULL, no operation is performed. Must not be called in NMI context (strictly speaking, only if we don't have CONFIG_ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG, but making the calling conventions for vfree arch-depenedent would be a really bad idea) NOTE
assumes that the object at *addr has a size >= sizeof(llist_node) COPYRIGHT

NAME
rebase -- Changes base address of dylibs and bundles SYNOPSIS
rebase [-low_address addr] [-high_address addr] [-arch arch] [-v] file(s) DESCRIPTION
The base address of an image (dylib or bundle) is the preferred address for it to be loaded. By default all images are built with a base address of zero. At runtime, if the preferred memory range is already occupied, dyld will "slide" the image to a new address range. There is a small cost to the slide, as dyld must do some fix ups. The rebase tool takes a list of images and adjust their base address to be non- overlapping. If no low or high address is specified, the a suitable address range is choosen for the architecture. The options are as follows: -low_address addr Force the base address for the first image to be addr (specified in hex). Each subsequent file gets the next available base address. -high_address addr Force the base address for the last image to be such that when that image is loaded it occupies memory up to addr (specified in hex). Each preceeding file gets the previous available base address. -arch arch Only rebase the specified architecture. Other architectures in a universal image are left as is. -v Verbose. Print information about rebasing done. SEE ALSO
