19*c54f35caSApple OSS DistributionsThis port is provided by the kernel in a <strong>memory_object_init</strong> call.

26*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<h3>DESCRIPTION</h3>
27*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<p>
28*c54f35caSApple OSS DistributionsThe <strong>memory_object_destroy</strong> function tells the kernel to shut down the
29*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributionsspecified memory object.  As a result of this call, the kernel
30*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributionsno longer supports
31*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributionspaging activity or any memory object calls on the memory object.
32*c54f35caSApple OSS DistributionsThe kernel issues
33*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributionsa <strong>memory_object_terminate</strong> call to pass to the memory
34*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributionsmanager all rights to
35*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributionsthe memory object port and the memory control port.
36*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<p>
37*c54f35caSApple OSS DistributionsTo ensure that any modified cached data is returned before the object is
38*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributionsterminated, the memory manager should call <strong>memory_object_lock_request</strong>
39*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributionswith
40*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<var>should_flush</var> set and a
41*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributionslock value of <strong>VM_PROT_WRITE</strong> before it makes the
42*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<strong>memory_object_destroy</strong> call.
43*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<h3>NOTES</h3>
44*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<p>
45*c54f35caSApple OSS DistributionsThe <var>reason</var> code is currently ignored by the kernel.
46*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<h3>RETURN VALUES</h3>
47*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<p>
48*c54f35caSApple OSS DistributionsOnly generic errors apply.
