PMAP_IS_MODIFIED(9)					   BSD Kernel Developer's Manual				       PMAP_IS_MODIFIED(9)

NAME
     pmap_is_modified, pmap_ts_modified -- return information about physical pages

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/param.h>
     #include <vm/vm.h>
     #include <vm/pmap.h>

     boolean_t
     pmap_is_modified(vm_page_t m);

     int
     pmap_ts_referenced(vm_page_t m);

DESCRIPTION
     The pmap_is_modified() and pmap_ts_referenced() functions return information about physical pages.

RETURN VALUES
     The pmap_is_modified() function returns the status of the ``page modified'' bit for the physical page m.

     The pmap_ts_referenced() function returns a count of reference bits for a page m, clearing those bits.  It is not necessary for every refer-
     ence bit to be cleared, but it is necessary that 0 only be returned when there are no remaining reference bits set on the page.
