## DESCRIPTION

The **pmap\_resident\_count**() and **pmap\_wired\_count**() macros allow **pmap** consumers to retrieve statistics from the *pm\_stats* member of the machine-dependent structure *struct* *pmap*.

## IMPLEMENTATION NOTES

Both functions are defined as in-line macros. The members which they access have type *long*.
