int plock(op)
int op;
DESCRIPTION
plock allows the calling process to lock its text segment (text lock),
its data segment (datalock), or both its text and data segments
(process lock) into memory. Locked segments are immune to all
routine swapping. plock also allows these segments to be unlocked.
The effective user ID of the calling process must be super-user to
use this call Op specifies the following:
PROCLOCK - process lock
TXTLOCK - text lock
DATLOCK - data lock
UNLOCK - remove locks
Hope that helps.
