.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm kinfo_getvmobject
|
|
.Nd function for getting system-wide memory information
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libutil
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/types.h
|
|
.In sys/user.h
|
|
.In libutil.h
|
|
.Ft struct kinfo_vmobject *
|
|
.Fn kinfo_getvmobject "int *cntp"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
This function is used to obtain information about the objects using memory
|
|
in the system.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar cntp
|
|
argument allows the caller to know how many records are returned.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This function is a wrapper around the
|
|
.Dq vm.objects
|
|
.Xr sysctl 3
|
|
MIB.
|
|
While the kernel returns a packed structure, this function expands the
|
|
data into a fixed record format.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
On success the
|
|
.Fn kinfo_getvmobject
|
|
function returns a pointer to an array of
|
|
.Vt struct kinfo_vmobject
|
|
structures as defined by
|
|
.In sys/user.h .
|
|
The array is allocated by an internal call to
|
|
.Xr malloc 3
|
|
and must be freed by the caller with a call to
|
|
.Xr free 3 .
|
|
On failure the
|
|
.Fn kinfo_getvmobject
|
|
function returns
|
|
.Dv NULL .
