bp_mapout(9F) Kernel Functions for Drivers bp_mapout(9F)NAME
bp_mapout - deallocate virtual address space
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/buf.h>
void bp_mapout(struct buf *bp);
INTERFACE LEVEL
Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI).
PARAMETERS
bp Pointer to the buffer header structure.
DESCRIPTION
bp_mapout() deallocates system virtual address space allocated by a previous call to bp_mapin(9F).bp_mapout() should only be called on
buffers which have been allocated and are owned by the device driver. It must not be called on buffers passed to the driver through the
strategy(9E) entry point (for example a filesystem). Because bp_mapin(9F) does not keep a reference count, bp_mapout() will wipe out any
kernel mapping that a layer above the device driver might rely on.
CONTEXT
bp_mapout() can be called from user context only.

bp_mapin - allocate virtual address space
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/buf.h>
void bp_mapin(struct buf *bp);
INTERFACE LEVEL
Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI).
PARAMETERS
bp Pointer to the buffer header structure.
DESCRIPTION
bp_mapin() is used to map virtual address space to a page list maintained by the buffer header during a paged- I/O request. bp_mapin()
allocates system virtual address space, maps that space to the page list, and returns the starting address of the space in the
bp->b_un.b_addr field of the buf(9S) structure. Virtual address space is then deallocated using the bp_mapout(9F) function.
If a null page list is encountered, bp_mapin() returns without allocating space and no mapping is performed.
CONTEXT
bp_mapin() can be called from user and kernel contexts.

Hi,
Humorous UNIX Commands shows a fun way of using echo and dc to sort of obfuscate a string.

For any SunOS 5.XX release, it appears prior to the "login:" prompt (as if a "uname" command is run).
Would anyone know where that initial display of SunOS release comes from upon a remote login and how I can stop if from displaying?
Thank you (4 Replies)
