Wildly implementation dependent. POSIX 1003.1b-1993 and 1003.1i-1995 are the canonical references, but different OSes will implement it to different extents. The mlock manpage is probably the best place to begin from. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (Darwin) iFYEAREIAAYFAkZIvgUACgkQf2XByo0Cu7MF0gDcD5Wh59IE6QH27hPkYW8fN7+H UUbsmg1JEjxV7gDggvxDQajFvl8tohk6CXFDuEnxfM5qLMxMPQ90cYkBHAQBAQgA BgUCRki+BQAKCRC3APSC/q+BCbtQB/wOuqH9WYOHiYILstPksNoD8nHlzhMpyJk1 cnFgPl2Cbgih3219ragxAUe1n8WsKj4Q2O/+caldEOcLEA7Ez2NA+27bw+6hYTJW ehBC6JV0N6HrhBvMKZjw8k8TCwtaigEDK58qRsXMQBiVsSIJ0bPvczfBRao/MDmk 78wJzTRqIc5uaYDMpYFq9utYBZFCF6EJbw73fqAbPxPqc3S/a0b9apBKPrsMbw5h y7pQOf2H5UFseFjygLoLJBZTuhzazJQCdVnE0Gf7wRPu0IUXLQrbAXBiL/l5T5E0 lp1lKb0rH4TBYFcoAkWYHw0vAAH1EMoBw3CvBwseMkxDJwrOMHTd =DxDE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
