.RE
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The \fBmeminfo()\fR function provides information about virtual and physical
memory particular to the calling process. The user or developer of performance
utilities can use this information to analyze system memory allocations and
develop a better understanding of the factors affecting application
performance.
.sp
.LP
The caller of \fBmeminfo()\fR can obtain the following types of information
about both virtual and physical memory.
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBMEMINFO_VPHYSICAL\fR\fR

.RS 26n
physical address corresponding to virtual address
.RE
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBMEMINFO_VLGRP\fR\fR

.RE
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBMEMINFO_VPAGESIZE\fR\fR

size of physical page corresponding to virtual address
.RE
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBMEMINFO_VREPLCNT\fR\fR

.RE
.sp
.LP
All but \fBMEMINFO_VLGRP\fR and \fBMEMINFO_VPAGESIZE\fR require the
\fBPRIV_PROC_MEMINFO\fR privilege.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.LP
Upon successful completion \fBmeminfo()\fR returns 0. Otherwise \(mi1 is
returned and \fBerrno\fR is set to indicate the error.
.SH ERRORS
.LP
The \fBmeminfo()\fR function will fail if:
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBEFAULT\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 10n
The area pointed to by \fIoutdata\fR or \fIvalidity\fR could not be written, or
