36*699cd480SApple OSS DistributionsThe memory cache control

41*699cd480SApple OSS Distributions<h3>DESCRIPTION</h3>
42*699cd480SApple OSS Distributions<p>
43*699cd480SApple OSS DistributionsA <strong>memory_object_terminate</strong> function is called as the
44*699cd480SApple OSS Distributionsresult of a kernel
45*699cd480SApple OSS Distributionsmessage notifying a memory manager that no mappings of the specified memory
46*699cd480SApple OSS Distributionsobject remain.  The kernel makes this call to allow the memory
47*699cd480SApple OSS Distributionsmanager to clean
48*699cd480SApple OSS Distributionsup data structures associated with the deallocated mappings.
49*699cd480SApple OSS DistributionsThe call provides
50*699cd480SApple OSS Distributionsreceive rights to the memory cache control port so that the memory manager
51*699cd480SApple OSS Distributionscan retrieve any messages it sent into this port before knowing the memory
52*699cd480SApple OSS Distributionsobject was being terminated and then destroy the port.  The kernel also
53*699cd480SApple OSS Distributionsrelinquishes its rights for all memory object ports.
54*699cd480SApple OSS Distributions<p>
55*699cd480SApple OSS DistributionsThe kernel terminates a memory object only after all address space mappings of
56*699cd480SApple OSS Distributionsthe object have been deallocated, or upon explicit request by the memory
57*699cd480SApple OSS Distributionsmanager.
58*699cd480SApple OSS Distributions<h3>RETURN VALUES</h3>
59*699cd480SApple OSS Distributions<p>
60*699cd480SApple OSS DistributionsOnly generic errors apply.
