Obtains a handle to the virtual memory object for the specified address given in the specified address space.
#include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/errno.h> #include <sys/vmuser.h> #include <sys/adspace.h> vmhandle_t as_geth (Adspacep, Addr) adspace_t *Adspacep; caddr_t Addr;
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Adspacep | Points to the address space structure to obtain the virtual memory object handle from. |
| Addr | Specifies the virtual memory address that should be used to determine the virtual memory object handle for the specified address space. |
The as_geth kernel service is used to obtain a handle to the virtual memory object corresponding to a virtual memory address in a particular address space. This handle can then be used with the vm_att kernel service to make the object addressable in another address space.
This service can also be called from the interrupt environment.
The as_geth kernel service can be called from the process environment only.
The as_geth kernel service always succeeds and returns the appropriate handle.
