19*699cd480SApple OSS DistributionsThis port is provided by the kernel in a <strong>memory_object_init</strong> call.

26*699cd480SApple OSS Distributions<h3>DESCRIPTION</h3>
27*699cd480SApple OSS Distributions<p>
28*699cd480SApple OSS DistributionsThe <strong>memory_object_destroy</strong> function tells the kernel to shut down the
29*699cd480SApple OSS Distributionsspecified memory object.  As a result of this call, the kernel
30*699cd480SApple OSS Distributionsno longer supports
31*699cd480SApple OSS Distributionspaging activity or any memory object calls on the memory object.
32*699cd480SApple OSS DistributionsThe kernel issues
33*699cd480SApple OSS Distributionsa <strong>memory_object_terminate</strong> call to pass to the memory
34*699cd480SApple OSS Distributionsmanager all rights to
35*699cd480SApple OSS Distributionsthe memory object port and the memory control port.
36*699cd480SApple OSS Distributions<p>
37*699cd480SApple OSS DistributionsTo ensure that any modified cached data is returned before the object is
38*699cd480SApple OSS Distributionsterminated, the memory manager should call <strong>memory_object_lock_request</strong>
39*699cd480SApple OSS Distributionswith
40*699cd480SApple OSS Distributions<var>should_flush</var> set and a
41*699cd480SApple OSS Distributionslock value of <strong>VM_PROT_WRITE</strong> before it makes the
42*699cd480SApple OSS Distributions<strong>memory_object_destroy</strong> call.
43*699cd480SApple OSS Distributions<h3>NOTES</h3>
44*699cd480SApple OSS Distributions<p>
45*699cd480SApple OSS DistributionsThe <var>reason</var> code is currently ignored by the kernel.
46*699cd480SApple OSS Distributions<h3>RETURN VALUES</h3>
47*699cd480SApple OSS Distributions<p>
48*699cd480SApple OSS DistributionsOnly generic errors apply.
