NAME

vmo_create - create a VM object

SYNOPSIS

#include <zircon/syscalls.h>

zx_status_t zx_vmo_create(uint64_t size, uint32_t options, zx_handle_t* out);

DESCRIPTION

vmo_create() creates a new virtual memory object (VMO), which represents a container of zero to size bytes of memory managed by the operating system.

One handle is returned on success, representing an object with the requested size.

The following rights will be set on the handle by default:

ZX_RIGHT_DUPLICATE - The handle may be duplicated.

ZX_RIGHT_TRANSFER - The handle may be transferred to another process.

ZX_RIGHT_READ - May be read from or mapped with read permissions.

ZX_RIGHT_WRITE - May be written to or mapped with write permissions.

ZX_RIGHT_EXECUTE - May be mapped with execute permissions.

ZX_RIGHT_MAP - May be mapped.

ZX_RIGHT_GET_PROPERTY - May get its properties using object_get_property.

ZX_RIGHT_SET_PROPERTY - May set its properties using object_set_property.

The options field is currently unused and must be set to 0.

RETURN VALUE

vmo_create() returns ZX_OK on success. In the event of failure, a negative error value is returned.

ERRORS

ZX_ERR_INVALID_ARGS out is an invalid pointer or NULL or options is any value other than 0.

ZX_ERR_NO_MEMORY Failure due to lack of memory.
