💖 VM_MAP_MAX(9) — map properties, but make it cute 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the VM_MAP_MAX(9) page from the Kernel Developer's Manual — it's giving tiny-but-useful map-property realness and we're literally obsessed ✨

✨ NAME ✨

vm_map_max, vm_map_min, vm_map_pmap — return map properties

📚 SYNOPSIS 📚

#include <sys/param.h>
#include <vm/vm.h>
#include <vm/vm_map.h>

vm_offset_t
vm_map_max(vm_map_t map);

vm_offset_t
vm_map_min(vm_map_t map);

pmap_t
vm_map_pmap(vm_map_t map);

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so these three functions are the little property besties for a virtual map. they're not doing anything chaotic — they just hand you info about map:

  • vm_map_max() — returns the upper address bound of the map map. like, the top edge of the map, no cap 🔥
  • vm_map_min() — returns the lower address bound of the map map. the bottom edge, periodt 💅
  • vm_map_pmap() — returns a pointer to the physical map associated with the virtual map map. it's giving "here's the physical-map bestie for this virtual map" ✨
