     int
     minherit(caddr_t addr, size_t len, int inherit);

DESCRIPTION

     The minherit() system call changes the specified pages to have the inher-
     itance characteristic inherit, which can be set to VM_INHERIT_NONE,
     VM_INHERIT_COPY, or VM_INHERIT_SHARE.  Not all implementations will guar-
     antee that the inheritance characteristic can be set on a page basis; the
     granularity of changes may be as large as an entire region.
