vm_map_max, vm_map_min, vm_map_pmap -- return map properties
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <vm/vm.h>
#include <vm/vm_map.h>
vm_offset_t
vm_map_max(vm_map_t map);
vm_offset_t
vm_map_min(vm_map_t map);
pmap_t
vm_map_pmap(vm_map_t map);
DESCRIPTION

VM_MAP_LOCK(9) BSD Kernel Developer's Manual VM_MAP_LOCK(9)NAME
vm_map_lock, vm_map_unlock, vm_map_lock_read, vm_map_unlock_read, vm_map_trylock, vm_map_trylock_read, vm_map_lock_upgrade,
vm_map_lock_downgrade -- vm_map locking macros
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <vm/vm.h>
#include <vm/vm_map.h>
void
vm_map_lock(vm_map_t map);
void
vm_map_unlock(vm_map_t map);
void
vm_map_lock_read(vm_map_t map);
void
vm_map_unlock_read(vm_map_t map);
int
vm_map_trylock(vm_map_t map);
int
vm_map_trylock_read(vm_map_t map);
int
vm_map_lock_upgrade(vm_map_t map);
int
vm_map_lock_downgrade(vm_map_t map);
DESCRIPTION
The vm_map_lock() macro obtains an exclusive lock on map.
The vm_map_unlock() macro releases an exclusive lock on map.
The vm_map_lock_read() macro obtains a read-lock on map.
The vm_map_unlock_read() macro releases a read-lock on map.
The vm_map_trylock() macro attempts to obtain an exclusive lock on map. It returns FALSE if the lock cannot be immediately acquired; other-
wise return TRUE with the lock acquired.
The vm_map_trylock_read() macro attempts to obtain a read-lock on map. It returns FALSE if the lock cannot be immediately acquired; other-
wise return TRUE with the lock acquired.
The vm_map_lock_upgrade() macro attempts to atomically upgrade a read-lock on map to an exclusive lock.
The vm_map_lock_downgrade() macro attempts to downgrade an exclusive lock on map to a read-lock.
IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
Currently, all of the locking macros implement their locks as sleep locks.

I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:

Suppose I have a main() function with only one malloc statement allocating say some 1 gb memory. Also say my system has 1 gb of ram.

The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)
