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 region are accessible. For example, a small file may be mapped into an address 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.AUTHORS
