NAME

       vm_map_insert — insert an object into a map

SYNOPSIS

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

       int
       vm_map_insert(vm_map_t map,  vm_object_t object, vm_ooffset_t offset, vm_offset_t start, vm_offset_t end,
           vm_prot_t prot, vm_prot_t max, int cow);

DESCRIPTION

       The vm_map_insert() function inserts a mapping for the entire vm_object object into the target map map.

       The offset argument specifies the offset into the object at which to begin mapping.   The  object's  size
       should match that of the specified address range.

       The start and end arguments specify the bounds of the mapped object's window in the address space of map.

       The  cow  argument  specifies  the  flags  which  should  be propagated to the new entry, for example, to
       indicate that this is a copy-on-write mapping.

IMPLEMENTATION NOTES

       This  function   implicitly   creates   a   new   vm_map_entry   by   calling   the   internal   function
       vm_map_entry_create().

RETURN VALUES

       The vm_map_insert() function returns KERN_SUCCESS if the mapping could be made successfully.

       Otherwise,  KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS  will  be  returned  if  the  start  of the range could not be found, or
       KERN_NO_SPACE if the range was found to be part of an existing entry or if it overlaps  the  end  of  the
       map.
