SYNOPSIS

minherit(caddr_t addr, size_t len, int inherit);
DESCRIPTION
The minherit() system call changes the specified pages to have the inher‐
itance characteristic inherit, which can be set to VM_INHERIT_NONE,
VM_INHERIT_COPY, or VM_INHERIT_SHARE. Not all implementations will guar‐
antee that the inheritance characteristic can be set on a page basis; the
granularity of changes may be as large as an entire region.
