Debian                                            July 19, 2003                                VM_MAP_INHERIT(9)

       The vm_map_inherit() function sets the inheritance flags for the range start to end within the target map
       to the value new_inheritance.

       The   new_inheritance   flag   must   have   one  of  the  values  VM_INHERIT_NONE,  VM_INHERIT_COPY,  or
       VM_INHERIT_SHARE.  This affects how the map will be shared with child maps when  the  associated  process
       forks.

       The  vm_map_inherit()  function  obtains  a  lock on the map using vm_map_lock(9) for the duration of the
       function.

       The vm_map_inherit() function returns KERN_SUCCESS if the inheritance flags could be set.  Otherwise,  if
       the provided flags were invalid, KERN_INVALID_ARGUMENT will be returned.
