|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm kinfo_getvmmap
|
|
.Nd function for getting per-process memory map information
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libutil
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/types.h
|
|
.In sys/user.h
|
|
.In libutil.h
|
|
.Ft struct kinfo_vmentry *
|
|
.Fn kinfo_getvmmap "pid_t pid" "int *cntp"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
This function is used for obtaining virtual memory mapping information
|
|
of a particular process.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar pid
|
|
field contains the process identifier.
|
|
This should be the a process that you have privilege to access.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar cntp
|
|
field is allows the caller to know how many records are returned.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This function is a wrapper around
|
|
.Xr sysctl 3
|
|
with the
|
|
.Dv KERN_PROC_VMMAP
|
|
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_getvmmap
|
|
function returns a pointer to an array of
|
|
.Vt struct kinfo_vmentry
|
|
structures as defined by
|
|
.In sys/user.h .
|
|
The array was obtained 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_getvmmap
|
|
function returns
|
|
.Dv NULL .
|
|
.Sh SEE ALSO
|
|

|
|
.Xr kinfo_getfile 3 ,
|
|
.Xr malloc 3
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn kinfo_getvmmap
|
|
function first appeared in
|
|
.Fx 7.0 .
|
|
.Sh CAVEATS
|
|
.Fn kinfo_getvmmap
|
|
calls can cause significant CPU consumption because calculating the residency
|
|
counts requires iterating over all memory pages of the process.
|
|
Setting the sysctl variable
|
|
.Va kern.proc_vmmap_skip_resident_count
|
|
to 1 prevents this calculation.
