.SH PROLOG
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.
The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult
the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
.\"
.SH NAME
mprotect
\(em set protection of memory mapping
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
#include <sys/mman.h>
.P
int mprotect(void *\fIaddr\fP, size_t \fIlen\fP, int \fIprot\fP);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
\fImprotect\fR()
function shall change the access protections to be that specified by
.IR prot
for those whole pages containing any part of the address space of the
process starting at address
.IR addr
and continuing for
.IR len
bytes. The parameter
.IR prot
determines whether read, write, execute, or some combination of
accesses are permitted to the data being mapped. The
.IR prot
argument should be either PROT_NONE or the bitwise-inclusive OR of one
or more of PROT_READ, PROT_WRITE, and PROT_EXEC.
.P
If an implementation cannot support the combination of access types
specified by
.IR prot ,
the call to
\fImprotect\fR()
shall fail.
.P
An implementation may permit accesses other than those specified by
.IR prot ;
however, no implementation shall permit a write to succeed where
PROT_WRITE has not been set or shall permit any access where PROT_NONE
alone has been set. Implementations shall support at least the
following values of
.IR prot :
PROT_NONE, PROT_READ, PROT_WRITE, and the bitwise-inclusive OR of
PROT_READ and PROT_WRITE. If PROT_WRITE is specified, the application
shall ensure that it has opened the mapped objects in the specified
address range with write permission, unless MAP_PRIVATE
was specified in the original mapping, regardless of whether the file
descriptors used to map the objects have since been closed.
.P
The implementation may require that
.IR addr
be a multiple of the page size as returned by
\fIsysconf\fR().
.P
The behavior of this function is unspecified if the mapping was not
established by a call to
\fImmap\fR().
.P
When
\fImprotect\fR()
fails for reasons other than
.BR [EINVAL] ,
the protections on some of the pages in the range
[\fIaddr\fP,\fIaddr\fP+\fIlen\fR) may have been changed.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
Upon successful completion,
\fImprotect\fR()
shall return 0; otherwise, it shall return \-1 and set
.IR errno
to indicate the error.
.SH ERRORS
The
\fImprotect\fR()
function shall fail if:
.TP
.BR EACCES
The
.IR prot
argument specifies a protection that violates the access permission the
process has to the underlying memory object.
.TP
.BR EAGAIN
The
.IR prot
argument specifies PROT_WRITE over a MAP_PRIVATE mapping and there are
insufficient memory resources to reserve for locking the private page.
.TP
.BR ENOMEM
Addresses in the range [\fIaddr\fP,\fIaddr\fP+\fIlen\fR) are invalid
for the address space of a process, or specify one or more pages which
are not mapped.
.TP
.BR ENOMEM
The
.IR prot
argument specifies PROT_WRITE on a MAP_PRIVATE mapping, and it would
require more space than the system is able to supply for locking the
private pages, if required.
.TP
.BR ENOTSUP
The implementation does not support the combination of accesses
requested in the
.IR prot
argument.
.P
The
\fImprotect\fR()
function may fail if:
.TP
.BR EINVAL
The
.IR addr
argument is not a multiple of the page size as returned by
\fIsysconf\fR().
.LP
.IR "The following sections are informative."
.SH EXAMPLES
None.
.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
Most implementations require that
.IR addr
is a multiple of the page size as returned by
\fIsysconf\fR().
.SH RATIONALE
None.
.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
None.
