MINCORE(2) Linux Programmer's Manual MINCORE(2)

NAME top

       mincore - determine whether pages are resident in memory

SYNOPSIS top

       #include <unistd.h>
       #include <sys/mman.h>

       int mincore(void *addr, size_t length, unsigned char *vec);

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       mincore(): _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION top

       mincore() returns a vector that indicates whether pages of the calling
       process's virtual memory are resident in core (RAM), and so will not cause a
       disk access (page fault) if referenced.  The kernel returns residency
       information about the pages starting at the address addr, and continuing for
       length bytes.

       The addr argument must be a multiple of the system page size.  The length
       argument need not be a multiple of the page size, but since residency
       information is returned for whole pages, length is effectively rounded up to
       the next multiple of the page size.  One may obtain the page size (PAGE_SIZE)
       using sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE).

       The vec argument must point to an array containing at least
       (length+PAGE_SIZE-1) / PAGE_SIZE bytes.  On return, the least significant bit
       of each byte will be set if the corresponding page is currently resident in
       memory, and be clear otherwise.  (The settings of the other bits in each byte
       are undefined; these bits are reserved for possible later use.)  Of course the
       information returned in vec is only a snapshot: pages that are not locked in
       memory can come and go at any moment, and the contents of vec may already be
       stale by the time this call returns.

RETURN VALUE top

       On success, mincore() returns zero.  On error, -1 is returned, and errno is
       set appropriately.

ERRORS top

       EAGAIN kernel is temporarily out of resources.

       EFAULT vec points to an invalid address.

       EINVAL addr is not a multiple of the page size.

       ENOMEM length is greater than (TASK_SIZE - addr).  (This could occur if a
              negative value is specified for length, since that value will be
              interpreted as a large unsigned integer.)  In Linux 2.6.11 and earlier,
              the error EINVAL was returned for this condition.

       ENOMEM addr to addr + length contained unmapped memory.

VERSIONS top

       Available since Linux 2.3.99pre1 and glibc 2.2.

CONFORMING TO top

       mincore() is not specified in POSIX.1-2001, and it is not available on all
       Unix implementations.

BUGS top

       Before kernel 2.6.21, mincore() did not return correct information for
       MAP_PRIVATE mappings, or for non-linear mappings (established using
       remap_file_pages(2)).
