VM_PAGE_HOLD(9) BSD Kernel Developer's Manual VM_PAGE_HOLD(9)NAME
vm_page_hold, vm_page_unhold -- update a page's hold count
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <vm/vm.h>
#include <vm/vm_page.h>
void
vm_page_hold(vm_page_t m);
void
vm_page_unhold(vm_page_t m);
DESCRIPTION
The vm_page_hold() function increases the hold count on a page. This prevents the page daemon from freeing the page.
vm_page_hold() should only be used for very temporary wiring of a page, as that page will not be considered for paging or reallocation for as
long as its hold count is greater than zero. Also note that while wired pages are removed from whatever queue they are on, vm_page_hold()
does not affect the location of the page. If it is on a queue prior to the call, it will still be there afterward.
If the page needs to be held for a long period of time, vm_page_wire(9) should be used.
vm_page_unhold() function reduces the hold count on a page. If the hold count is zero it is possible that the page will be freed by the page
daemon.

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.

Greetings,
I'm trying to delete a file with a weird name from within Terminal on a Mac.
It's a very old file (1992) with null characters in the name: ââWord FinderÂŽ Plusâ˘.

Hi all...
Well guys and gals, I jumped in at the deep end and found things that PERL cannot do by default.
Many tricky terminal escape codes are not catered for so I had to create workarounds.
One thing I searched for was this:

Well, guys I saw a question about GOTO for Python.
So this gave me the inspiration to attempt a GOTO function for 'dash', (bash and ksh too).

This is purely a fun project to see if it is possible in PURE... (3 Replies)
