MPROTECT(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual MPROTECT(3P)
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.
mprotect — set protection of memory mapping
#include <sys/mman.h>
int mprotect(void *addr, size_t len, int prot);
The mprotect() function shall change the access protections to be
that specified by prot for those whole pages containing any part of
the address space of the process starting at address addr and
continuing for len bytes. The parameter prot determines whether read,
write, execute, or some combination of accesses are permitted to the
data being mapped. The prot argument should be either PROT_NONE or
the bitwise-inclusive OR of one or more of PROT_READ, PROT_WRITE, and
PROT_EXEC.
If an implementation cannot support the combination of access types
specified by prot, the call to mprotect() shall fail.
An implementation may permit accesses other than those specified by
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 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.
The implementation may require that addr be a multiple of the page
size as returned by sysconf().
The behavior of this function is unspecified if the mapping was not
established by a call to mmap().
When mprotect() fails for reasons other than [EINVAL], the
protections on some of the pages in the range [addr,addr+len) may
have been changed.
Upon successful completion, mprotect() shall return 0; otherwise, it
shall return −1 and set errno to indicate the error.
The mprotect() function shall fail if:
EACCES The prot argument specifies a protection that violates the
access permission the process has to the underlying memory
object.
EAGAIN The prot argument specifies PROT_WRITE over a MAP_PRIVATE
mapping and there are insufficient memory resources to reserve
for locking the private page.
ENOMEM Addresses in the range [addr,addr+len) are invalid for the
address space of a process, or specify one or more pages which
are not mapped.
ENOMEM The 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.
ENOTSUP
The implementation does not support the combination of
accesses requested in the prot argument.
The mprotect() function may fail if:
EINVAL The addr argument is not a multiple of the page size as
returned by sysconf().
The following sections are informative.
None.
Most implementations require that addr is a multiple of the page size
as returned by sysconf().
None.
None.
