# man 2 mlock2
MLOCK(2) Linux Programmer's Manual MLOCK(2)
NAME
mlock, mlock2, munlock, mlockall, munlockall - lock and unlock memory
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/mman.h>
int mlock(const void *addr, size_t len);
int mlock2(const void *addr, size_t len, int flags);
int munlock(const void *addr, size_t len);
int mlockall(int flags);
int munlockall(void);
DESCRIPTION
mlock(), mlock2(), and mlockall() lock part or all of the calling process's virtual address space into RAM, preventing that memory from being paged to the swap area.
munlock() and munlockall() perform the converse operation, unlocking part or all of the calling process's virtual address space, so that pages in the specified virtual address
range may once more to be swapped out if required by the kernel memory manager.
Memory locking and unlocking are performed in units of whole pages.
