CACHE(3) BSD Library Functions Manual CACHE(3)NAME
sys_cache_control, sys_icache_invalidate, sys_dcache_flush -- cache control
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <libkern/OSCacheControl.h>
int
sys_cache_control(int function, void *start, size_t len);
void
sys_icache_invalidate(void *start, size_t len);
void
sys_dcache_flush(void *start, size_t len);
DESCRIPTION
These functions operate on every cache line containing one of the len bytes of memory pointed to by start. Normally the operations apply to
every processor in the system, but the exact semantics of these operations is platform dependent. They should be used with caution.
sys_cache_control() performs the operation specified by function. Refer to the header file for a list of currently supported functions.
sys_icache_invalidate() prepares memory for execution, typically by invalidating the instruction cache for the indicated range. This should
be called after writing machine instructions to memory, and before executing them. On IA32 processors this function is a NOP, because their
instruction caches are coherent.
sys_dcache_flush() writes modified data cache lines to main memory, and then invalidates all lines in the range being operated on. It can be
useful when dealing with cache incoherent devices or DMA.
RETURN VALUES
sys_cache_control() returns zero on success, ENOTSUP if function is not valid.

These functions first appeared in Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard).

I want to create a new user and grant him ONLY transfer files access to a specific directory where he can only upload and read the files. He should be restricted to this activity only.

Hello for all,
I am testing the behavior of a 32 bit application running on Solaris 5.10 (SPARC), and realize it reaches 4GB of memory and then crashes.
It doesn't matter the amount of used memory as application is intended to perform many transactions; rather, what I want to achieve is to... (2 Replies)
