SYNOPSIS

#include< mach/default_pager_object.h>

kern_return_t   default_pager_backing_store_create
                (mach_port_t                              pager,
                 int                                   priority,
                 int                                     clsize,
                 mach_port_t                      backing_store);

PARAMETERS

pager

[in default pager (receive) right] The default pager service port.

priority

[in scalar] The scheduling priority for the backing store service thread(s).

clsize

[in scalar] The preferred cluster size (in bytes) for the backing store object.

backing_store

[out backing store (receive) right] The port used to manipulate the created backing store.

DESCRIPTION

The default_pager_backing_store_create function is called to create a new backing storage object. The kernel does not make this call itself (which is why it can be a synchronous call); this request is only issued by tasks (privileged) holding the default pager service port.

RETURN VALUES

KERN_FAILURE

The default pager does not support this operation.

KERN_INVALID_ARGUMENT

The pager port does not represent a valid default pager.

KERN_SUCCESS

The operation was successful.
