44 This function is used for obtaining virtual memory mapping information
45 of a particular process.
49 field contains the process identifier.
50 This should be the a process that you have privilege to access.
53 field is allows the caller to know how many records are returned.
55 This function is a wrapper around
60 While the kernel returns a packed structure, this function expands the
61 data into a fixed record format.
65 function returns a pointer to an array of
66 .Vt struct kinfo_vmentry
67 structures as defined by
69 The array was obtained by an internal call to
71 and must be freed by the caller with a call to
