SYNOPSIS
Parameters
addr The address of the region whose validity is to be checked.
len The length in bytes of the region specified by the addr parameter.
prot The desired access protection for the region.
DESCRIPTION
The function checks the validity of a memory region. A region is considered to be valid if accesses of the requested type are allowed to
all addresses in the region.
The header file defines the following access options:
The mapped region can be read.
The mapped region can be written.
The mapped region can be executed.
The prot parameter can be any combination of and ORed together.

Failure.
is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
If the function fails, may be set to one of the following values:
The range specified by
(addr, addr+len) is invalid for the process's address space, or the range specifies one or more unmapped pages, or one or
more pages of the range disallows accesses of the specified protection.
The prot parameter is invalid, or the addr parameter is not a multiple of the page size as returned by
The range specified by
(addr, addr+len) is invalid for the process's address space, or the range specifies one or more unmapped pages.
