memcntl(2) -- memory management control
|
The memcntl function enables the calling process to exercise various control operations over the address space which is identified by the mappings set for the address range [addr, addr, + len]. Select... |
mkdir(2) -- Create a directory
|
The mkdir() function creates a new directory with the following attributes: The owner ID is set to the process's effective user ID. The group ID is set to the group ID of its parent directory. [Tru64... |
mknod(2) -- Create a FIFO or special file
|
The mknod() function creates a special file or FIFO. Using the mknod() function to create file types other than FIFO special requires superuser privilege. For the mknod() function to complete successf... |
mmap(2) -- Map a file system object into virtual memory
|
The mmap() function creates a new mapped file region, a new private region, or a new shared memory region. The addr and len parameters specify the requested starting address and length in bytes for th... |
mount(2) -- Mount or unmount a file system
|
Except in the case of file-on-file mounting, the mount() function mounts a file system on the directory pointed to by the mnt-path parameter. Following the mount, references to mnt-path refer to the r... |
mprotect(2) -- Modify access protections of memory mapping
|
The mprotect() function modifies the access protection of a mapped file or shared memory region. The addr and len parameters specify the address and length in bytes of the region to be modified. The l... |
msgctl(2) -- Perform message control operations
|
The msgctl() function allows a process to query or set the contents of the msqid_ds structure associated with the specified message queue ID. It also allows a process to remove the message queue ID an... |
msgget(2) -- Return (and possibly create) the ID for a message queue
|
The msgget() function returns the message queue ID for the message queue identified by the key parameter. If the message queue ID does not exist, the msgget() function attempts to create it. If you sp... |
msgrcv(2) -- Receive a message from a message queue
|
The msgrcv() function receives a message from the queue associated with the msqid parameter. The function returns the number of bytes in the received message. The msgp parameter points to a user-defin... |
msgsnd(2) -- Send a message to a message queue
|
The msgsnd() function sends a message to the queue associated with the msqid parameter. When the kernel sends a message, it allocates space for the message and copies the data from user space. The ker... |
msync(2) -- Synchronize a mapped file
|
The msync() function controls the caching operations of a mapped file region. The msync() function can be used to ensure that modified pages in the region are transferred to the file's underlying sto... |
munmap(2) -- Unmap a mapped region
|
The munmap() function unmaps a mapped file or shared memory region. The addr and len parameters specify the address and length in bytes, respectively, of the region to be unmapped. The len parameter m... |
mvalid(2) -- Check memory region for validity
|
The mvalid() function checks the validity of a memory region. A region is considered to be valid if accesses of the requested type are allowed to all addresses in the region. The header f... |
