i386_set_ldt(2) -- manage i386 per-process Local Descriptor Table entries
|
i386_get_ldt() will return the list of i386 descriptors that the process has in its LDT. i386_set_ldt() will set a list of i386 descriptors for the current process in its LDT. Both routines accept a s... |
i386_set_mtrr(2) -- access Memory Type Range Registers
|
These functions provide an interface to the MTRR registers found on 686-class processors for controlling processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful for accessing devices such as video acce... |
i386_vm86(2) -- set virtual 8086 processor registers and mode
|
i386_vm86() will set the process into virtual 8086 mode using the registers and selectors specified by the context pointed to by vmcp. The processor registers are set from vmcp->substr.regs, and the e... |
intro(2) -- introduction to system calls and error numbers
|
This section provides an overview of the system calls, their error returns, and other common definitions and concepts. |
ioctl(2) -- control device
|
The ioctl() function manipulates the underlying device parameters of special files. In particular, many operating characteristics of character special files (e.g. terminals) may be controlled with ioc... |
issetugid(2) -- is current process tainted by uid or gid changes
|
The issetugid() function returns 1 if the process environment or memory address space is considered ``tainted'', and returns 0 otherwise. A process is tainted if it was created as a result of an exe... |
kill(2) -- send signal to a process
|
The kill() function sends the signal given by sig to pid, a process or a group of processes. sig may be one of the signals specified in sigaction(2) or it may be 0, in which case error checking is per... |
ktrace(2) -- process tracing
|
The ktrace() function enables or disables tracing of one or more processes. Users may only trace their own processes. Only the super-user can trace setuid or setgid programs. The tracefile gives the p... |
lchflags(2) -- set file flags
|
The file whose name is given by path or referenced by the descriptor fd has its flags changed to flags. For lchflags(), symbolic links are not traversed and thus their modes may be changed with this c... |
lchmod(2) -- change mode of file
|
The function chmod() sets the file permission bits of the file specified by the pathname path to mode. fchmod() sets the permission bits of the specified file descriptor fd. lchmod() is like chmod() e... |
lchown(2) -- change owner and group of a file
|
The owner ID and group ID of the file named by path or referenced by fd is changed as specified by the arguments owner and group. The owner of a file may change the group to a group of which he or she... |
lfs_bmapv(2) -- retrieve disk addresses for arrays of blocks
|
lfs_bmapv() fills in the bi_daddr field for every block listed in the block array blkiov with the disk address corrseponding to the logical block bi_lbn of the file with inode bi_inode. If bi_lbn is L... |
lfs_markv(2) -- rewrite disk blocks to new disk locations
|
lfs_markv() rewrites the blocks specified in blkiov to new disk locations, for the purposes of grouping them next to one another, or to move them out of a segment to clean it. All fields of the BLOCK_... |
