.TH mlockall 3C "22 Mar 2004" "SunOS 5.11" "Standard C Library Functions"
.SH NAME
mlockall, munlockall \- lock or unlock address space
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
#include <sys/mman.h>

\fBint\fR \fBmlockall\fR(\fBint\fR \fIflags\fR);
.fi

.LP
.nf
\fBint\fR \fBmunlockall\fR(\fBvoid\fR);
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBmlockall()\fR function locks in memory all pages mapped by an address
space.
.sp
.LP
The value of \fIflags\fR determines whether the pages to be locked are those
currently mapped by the address space, those that will be mapped in the future,
or both:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
       \fBMCL_CURRENT\fR  Lock current mappings
       \fBMCL_FUTURE\fR   Lock future mappings
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
If \fBMCL_FUTURE\fR is specified for \fBmlockall()\fR, mappings are locked as
they are added to the address space (or replace existing mappings), provided
sufficient memory is available. Locking in this manner is not persistent across
the \fBexec\fR family of functions (see \fBexec\fR(2)).
.sp
.LP
Mappings locked using \fBmlockall()\fR with any option may be explicitly
unlocked with a \fBmunlock()\fR call (see \fBmlock\fR(3C)).
.sp
.LP
The  \fBmunlockall()\fR function removes address space locks and locks on
mappings in the address space.
.sp
.LP
All conditions and constraints on the use of locked memory that apply to
\fBmlock\fR(3C) also apply to \fBmlockall()\fR.
.sp
.LP
Locks established with \fBmlockall()\fR are not inherited by a child process
after a  \fBfork\fR(2) call, and are not nested.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
Upon successful completion, the  \fBmlockall()\fR and  \fBmunlockall()\fR
functions return \fB0\fR.  Otherwise, they return  \fB\(mi1\fR and set
\fBerrno\fR to indicate the error.
.SH ERRORS
.sp
.LP
The \fBmlockall()\fR and \fBmunlockall()\fR functions will fail if:
.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fBEAGAIN\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 10n
.rt  
Some or all of the memory in the address space could not be locked due to
sufficient resources. This error condition applies to \fBmlockall()\fR only.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fBEINVAL\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 10n
.rt  
The \fIflags\fR argument contains values other than \fBMCL_CURRENT\fR and
\fBMCL_FUTURE\fR.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fBEPERM\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 10n
.rt  
The {\fBPRIV_PROC_LOCK_MEMORY\fR} privilege is not asserted in the effective
set of the calling process.
