VM_MAP_CHECK_PROTECTI... BSD Kernel Developer's	ManualVM_MAP_CHECK_PROTECTI...

NAME
     vm_map_check_protection --	check memory protection	for a vm_map

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

     boolean_t
     vm_map_check_protection(vm_map_t map, vm_offset_t start, vm_offset_t end,
	 vm_prot_t protection);

DESCRIPTION
     The vm_map_check_protection() function asserts that the target map	allows
     the specified privilege protection	over the entire	address	range from
     start to end.  The	region MUST be contiguous; no holes are	allowed.

IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
     This code does not	and SHOULD not check whether the contents of the re-
     gion are accessible.  For example,	a small	file may be mapped into	an ad-
     dress space which is significantly	larger in size.

RETURN VALUES
     The vm_map_check_protection() function returns TRUE if the	privilege is
     allowed; if it is not allowed, or if any other error occurred, the	value
     FALSE is returned.
