.Sh NAME
|

.Nm minherit
|
|
.Nd control the inheritance of pages
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libc
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/mman.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn minherit "void *addr" "size_t len" "int inherit"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn minherit
|
|
system call
|
|
changes the specified pages to have the inheritance characteristic
|
|
.Fa inherit .
|
|
Not all implementations will guarantee that the inheritance characteristic
|
|
can be set on a page basis;
|
|
the granularity of changes may be as large as an entire region.
|
|
.Fx
|
|
is capable of adjusting inheritance characteristics on a page basis.
|
|
Inheritance only effects children created by
|
|
.Fn fork .
|
|
It has no effect on
|
|
.Fn exec .
|
|
exec'd processes replace their address space entirely.
|
|
This system call also
|
|
has no effect on the parent's address space (other than to potentially
|
|
share the address space with its children).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Inheritance is a rather esoteric feature largely superseded by the
|
|
.Dv MAP_SHARED
|
|
feature of
|
|
.Fn mmap .
|
|
However, it is possible to use
|
|
.Fn minherit
|
|
to share a block of memory between parent and child that has been mapped
|
|
.Dv MAP_PRIVATE .
|
|
That is, modifications made by parent or child are shared but
|
|
the original underlying file is left untouched.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Dv INHERIT_SHARE"
|
|
.It Dv INHERIT_SHARE
|
|
This option causes the address space in question to be shared between
|
|
parent and child.
|
|
It has no effect on how the original underlying backing
|
|
store was mapped.
|
|
.It Dv INHERIT_NONE
|
|
This option prevents the address space in question from being inherited
|
|
at all.
|
|
The address space will be unmapped in the child.
|
|
.It Dv INHERIT_COPY
|
|
This option causes the child to inherit the address space as copy-on-write.
|
|
This option also has an unfortunate side effect of causing the parent
|
|
address space to become copy-on-write when the parent forks.
|
|
If the original mapping was
|
|
.Dv MAP_SHARED ,
|
|
it will no longer be shared in the parent
|
|
after the parent forks and there is no way to get the previous
|
|
shared-backing-store mapping without unmapping and remapping the address
|
|
space in the parent.
|
|
.It Dv INHERIT_ZERO
|
|
This option causes the address space in question to be mapped as new
|
|
anonymous pages,
|
|
which would be initialized to all zero bytes,
|
|
in the child process.

.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn minherit
|
|
system call will fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The virtual address range specified by the
|
|
.Fa addr
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa len
|
|
arguments is not valid.
|
|
.It Bq Er EACCES
|
|
The flags specified by the
|
|
.Fa inherit
|
|
argument were not valid for the pages specified
|
|
by the
|
|
.Fa addr
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa len
|
|
arguments.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn minherit
|
|
system call first appeared in
|
|
.Ox
|
|
and then in
|
|
.Fx 2.2 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Dv INHERIT_ZERO
|
|
support first appeared in
|
|
.Ox 5.6
|
|
and then in
|
|
.Fx 12.0 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
Once you set inheritance to
|
|
.Dv MAP_PRIVATE
|
|
or
|
|
.Dv MAP_SHARED ,
|
|
there is no way to recover the original copy-on-write semantics
|
|
short of unmapping and remapping the area.
