NAME
mprotect -- control the protection of pages
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/mman.h>
int
mprotect(const void *addr, size_t len, int prot);
DESCRIPTION
The mprotect() system call changes the specified pages to have protection
prot. Not all implementations will guarantee protection on a page basis;
the granularity of protection changes may be as large as an entire
region. A region is the virtual address space defined by the start and
end addresses of a struct vm_map_entry.
Currently these protection bits are known, which can be combined, OR'd
together:
PROT_NONE No permissions at all.
PROT_READ The pages can be read.
PROT_WRITE The pages can be written.
PROT_EXEC The pages can be executed.
RETURN VALUES
The mprotect() function returns the value 0 if successful; otherwise the
value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the
error.
ERRORS
The mprotect() system call will fail if:
[EINVAL] The virtual address range specified by the addr and
len arguments is not valid.
[EACCES] The calling process was not allowed to change the pro-
tection to the value specified by the prot argument.

HISTORY
The mprotect() system call first appeared in 4.4BSD.
