Function nc::mprotect

pub unsafe fn mprotect(addr: usize, len: size_t, prot: i32) -> Result<(), Errno>

Set protection on a region of memory.

Example

// Initialize an anonymous mapping with 4 pages.
let map_length = 4 * nc::PAGE_SIZE;
let addr = unsafe {
    nc::mmap(
        0,
        map_length,
        nc::PROT_READ | nc::PROT_WRITE,
        nc::MAP_PRIVATE | nc::MAP_ANONYMOUS,
        -1,
        0,
    )
};
assert!(addr.is_ok());
let addr = addr.unwrap();

// Set the third page readonly. And we will run into SIGSEGV when updating it.
let ret = unsafe { nc::mprotect(addr + 2 * nc::PAGE_SIZE, nc::PAGE_SIZE, nc::PROT_READ) };
assert!(ret.is_ok());

let ret = unsafe { nc::munmap(addr, map_length) };
assert!(ret.is_ok());
