30.Sh NAME
31.Nm vm_map_lookup ,
32.Nm vm_map_lookup_done
33.Nd lookup the vm_object backing a given virtual region
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.In sys/param.h
36.In vm/vm.h
37.In vm/vm_map.h
38.Ft int
39.Fn vm_map_lookup "vm_map_t *var_map" "vm_offset_t vaddr" "vm_prot_t fault_type" "vm_map_entry_t *out_entry" "vm_object_t *object" "vm_pindex_t *pindex" "vm_prot_t *out_prot" "boolean_t *wired"
40.Ft void
41.Fn vm_map_lookup_done "vm_map_t map" "vm_map_entry_t entry"
42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43The
44.Fn vm_map_lookup
45function attempts to find the
46vm_object, page index and protection, for the given virtual address
47.Fa vaddr ,
48in the map
49.Fa var_map ,
50assuming a page fault of the type
51.Fa fault_type
52had occurred.
53.Pp
54Return values are guaranteed until
55.Fn vm_map_lookup_done
56is called to release the lock.
57.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
58The function
59.Fn vm_map_lookup
60acquires a read-lock on the map
61.Fa *var_map ,
62but does not release it.
63The caller should invoke
64.Fn vm_map_lookup_done
65in order to release this lock.
66.Sh RETURN VALUES
67The
68.Fn vm_map_lookup
69function returns
70.Dv KERN_SUCCESS ,
71and sets the
72.Fa *object ,
73.Fa *pindex ,
74.Fa *out_prot ,
75and
76.Fa *out_entry
77arguments appropriately for the hypothetical page fault.
