NAME

mprotect - control the protection of pages

LIBRARY

Lb libc

SYNOPSIS

In sys/mman.h Ft int Fn mprotect const void *addr size_t len int prot

DESCRIPTION

The Fn mprotect system call changes the specified pages to have protection Fa prot . Not all implementations will guarantee protection on a page basis; the granularity of protection changes may be as large as an entire region. A region is the virtual address space defined by the start and end addresses of a Vt struct vm_map_entry .

Currently these protection bits are known, which can be combined, OR'd together:

PROT_NONE
No permissions at all.
PROT_READ
The pages can be read.
PROT_WRITE
The pages can be written.
PROT_EXEC
The pages can be executed.

RETURN VALUES

Rv -std mprotect

ERRORS

The Fn mprotect system call will fail if:
Bq Er EINVAL
The virtual address range specified by the Fa addr and Fa len arguments is not valid.
Bq Er EACCES
The calling process was not allowed to change the protection to the value specified by the Fa prot argument.
