.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The  \fBrsm_create_localmemory_handle()\fR and
\fBrsm_free_localmemory_handle()\fR functions are supporting functions for
\fBrsm_memseg_import_putv\fR(3RSM) and \fBrsm_memseg_import_getv\fR(3RSM).
.sp
.LP
The \fBrsm_create_localmemory_handle()\fR function creates a local memory
handle to be used in the I/O vector component of a scatter-gather list of
subsequent \fBrsm_memseg_import_putv()\fR and \fBrsm_memseg_import_getv()\fR
calls. The \fIhandle\fR argument specifies the controller handle obtained from
\fBrsm_get_controller\fR(3RSM). The \fIl_handle\fR argument is a pointer to the
location for the function to return the local memory handle. The
\fIlocal_vaddr\fR argument specifies the local virtual address; it should be
aligned at a page boundary. The \fIlength\fR argument specifies the length of
memory spanned by the handle.
.sp
.LP
The \fBrsm_free_localmemory_handle()\fR function unlocks the memory range for
the local handle specified by \fIl_handle\fR and releases the associated system
resources. The \fIhandle\fR argument specifies the controller handle.  All
handles created by a process are freed when the process exits, but the process
should call \fBrsm_free_localmemory_handle()\fR as soon as possible to free the
system resources.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
Upon successful completion, these functions return 0. Otherwise, an error value
is returned to indicate the error.
