insert a virtual page into a physical map

## NAME

**pmap\_enter** – insert a virtual page into a physical map

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<sys/param.h\>**

*void*\

**pmap\_enter**(*pmap\_t pmap*, *vm\_offset\_t va*, *vm\_page\_t p*, *vm\_prot\_t prot*, *boolean\_t wired*);

## DESCRIPTION

The **pmap\_enter**() function inserts the given physical page *p*, into the physical map *pmap*, at the virtual address *va*, with the protection *prot*. If *wired* is TRUE, then increment the wired count for the page as soon as the mapping is inserted into *pmap*.
