Tru64 has the following mman function to check the validity of a memory region.
int mvalid (caddr_t addr, size_t len,int prot)
where prot is any ORed combination of PROT_READ, PROT_WRITE and PROT_EXEC
and the retrun value is 0 if accesses requiring the specified
protections are allowed to all addresses within the specified range of
addresses. Otherwise, the mvalid() function returns -1.
Is there an equivalent one on Linux? Alternately is there a way to
find this info. on Linux?
Thanks,
Bharadwaj
