26*0f4c859eSApple OSS Distributions<h3>DESCRIPTION</h3>
27*0f4c859eSApple OSS Distributions<p>
28*0f4c859eSApple OSS DistributionsThe <strong>memory_object_destroy</strong> function tells the kernel to shut down the
29*0f4c859eSApple OSS Distributionsspecified memory object.  As a result of this call, the kernel
30*0f4c859eSApple OSS Distributionsno longer supports
31*0f4c859eSApple OSS Distributionspaging activity or any memory object calls on the memory object.
32*0f4c859eSApple OSS DistributionsThe kernel issues
33*0f4c859eSApple OSS Distributionsa <strong>memory_object_terminate</strong> call to pass to the memory
34*0f4c859eSApple OSS Distributionsmanager all rights to
35*0f4c859eSApple OSS Distributionsthe memory object port and the memory control port.
36*0f4c859eSApple OSS Distributions<p>
37*0f4c859eSApple OSS DistributionsTo ensure that any modified cached data is returned before the object is
38*0f4c859eSApple OSS Distributionsterminated, the memory manager should call <strong>memory_object_lock_request</strong>
39*0f4c859eSApple OSS Distributionswith
40*0f4c859eSApple OSS Distributions<var>should_flush</var> set and a
41*0f4c859eSApple OSS Distributionslock value of <strong>VM_PROT_WRITE</strong> before it makes the
42*0f4c859eSApple OSS Distributions<strong>memory_object_destroy</strong> call.
43*0f4c859eSApple OSS Distributions<h3>NOTES</h3>
44*0f4c859eSApple OSS Distributions<p>
45*0f4c859eSApple OSS DistributionsThe <var>reason</var> code is currently ignored by the kernel.
46*0f4c859eSApple OSS Distributions<h3>RETURN VALUES</h3>
47*0f4c859eSApple OSS Distributions<p>
48*0f4c859eSApple OSS DistributionsOnly generic errors apply.
