\(em memory management declarations
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
#include <sys/mman.h>
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.IR <sys/mman.h> 
header shall define the following symbolic constants for use as
protection options:
.IP PROT_EXEC 14
Page can be executed.
.IP PROT_NONE 14
Page cannot be accessed.
.IP PROT_READ 14
Page can be read.
.IP PROT_WRITE 14
Page can be written.
.P
The
.IR <sys/mman.h> 
header shall define the following symbolic constants for use as
flag options:
.IP MAP_FIXED 14
Interpret
.IR addr
exactly.
.IP MAP_PRIVATE 14
Changes are private.
.IP MAP_SHARED 14
Share changes.
.P
The
.IR <sys/mman.h> 
header shall define the following symbolic constants for the
\fImsync\fR()
function:
.IP MS_ASYNC 14
Perform asynchronous writes.
.IP MS_INVALIDATE 14
Invalidate mappings.
.IP MS_SYNC 14
Perform synchronous writes.
.P
The
.IR <sys/mman.h> 
header shall define the following symbolic constants for the
\fImlockall\fR()
function:
.IP MCL_CURRENT 14
Lock currently mapped pages.
.IP MCL_FUTURE 14
Lock pages that become mapped.
.P
The
.IR <sys/mman.h> 
header shall define the symbolic constant MAP_FAILED which shall
have type
.BR "void *"
and shall be used to indicate a failure from the
\fImmap\fR()
function .
.P
If the Advisory Information option is supported, the
.IR <sys/mman.h> 
header shall define symbolic constants for the
.IR advice
argument to the
\fIposix_madvise\fR()
function as follows:
.IP POSIX_MADV_DONTNEED 6
.br
The application expects that it will not access the specified range in
the near future.
.IP POSIX_MADV_NORMAL 6
.br
The application has no advice to give on its behavior with respect to
the specified range. It is the default characteristic if no advice is
given for a range of memory.
.IP POSIX_MADV_RANDOM 6
.br
The application expects to access the specified range in a random
order.
.IP POSIX_MADV_SEQUENTIAL 6
.br
The application expects to access the specified range sequentially from
lower addresses to higher addresses.
.IP POSIX_MADV_WILLNEED 6
.br
The application expects to access the specified range in the near
future.
.P
The
.IR <sys/mman.h> 
header shall define the following symbolic constants for use as
flags for the
\fIposix_typed_mem_open\fR()
function:
.IP POSIX_TYPED_MEM_ALLOCATE 6
.br
Allocate on
\fImmap\fR().
.IP POSIX_TYPED_MEM_ALLOCATE_CONTIG 6
.br
Allocate contiguously on
\fImmap\fR().
.IP POSIX_TYPED_MEM_MAP_ALLOCATABLE 6
.br
Map on
\fImmap\fR(),
without affecting allocatability.
.P
The
.IR <sys/mman.h> 
header shall define the
.BR mode_t ,
.BR off_t ,
and
.BR size_t
types as described in
.IR "\fB<sys_types.h>\fP".
.P
The
.IR <sys/mman.h> 
header shall define the
.BR posix_typed_mem_info
structure, which shall include at least the following member:
.sp
.RS 4
.nf
size_t  posix_tmi_length  \fRMaximum length which may be allocated\fR
                          \fRfrom a typed memory object.\fR
.fi
.P
.RE
.P
The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as
macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.
.sp
.RS 4
.nf

int    mlockall(int);
void  *mmap(void *, size_t, int, int, int, off_t);
