KINFO_GETVMOBJECT(3)   FreeBSD Library Functions Manual   KINFO_GETVMOBJECT(3)

NAME
     kinfo_getvmobject - function for getting system-wide memory information

LIBRARY
     System Utilities Library (libutil, -lutil)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <sys/user.h>
     #include <libutil.h>

     struct kinfo_vmobject *
     kinfo_getvmobject(int *cntp);

DESCRIPTION
     This function is used to obtain information about the objects using
     memory in the system.

     The cntp argument allows the caller to know how many records are
     returned.

     This function is a wrapper around the "vm.objects" sysctl(3) MIB.  While
     the kernel returns a packed structure, this function expands the data
     into a fixed record format.

RETURN VALUES
     On success the kinfo_getvmobject() function returns a pointer to an array
     of struct kinfo_vmobject structures as defined by <sys/user.h>.  The
     array is allocated by an internal call to malloc(3) and must be freed by
     the caller with a call to free(3).  On failure the kinfo_getvmobject()
     function returns NULL.

SEE ALSO
     free(3), kinfo_getvmmap(3), malloc(3)

HISTORY
     The kinfo_getvmobject() function first appeared in FreeBSD 10.2.

FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE-p6          May 20, 2020          FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE-p6
