__djgpp_set_page_attributes
===========================

Syntax
------

     #include <dpmi.h>
     
     int __djgpp_set_page_attributes(void *our_addr, unsigned long num_bytes,
                                  unsigned short attributes);

Description
-----------

This function sets the DPMI page attributes for the pages in a range of
memory.  OUR_ADDR and NUM_BYTES must be page-aligned.  If they are not
page-aligned, ERRNO will be set to `EINVAL' and the routine will fail.

Consult DPMI documentation on function 0507H for the meaning of the
ATTRIBUTES argument.  Note: since 0507H is a DPMI service new with DPMI
1.0, this call will fail on most DPMI 0.9 servers.  For your program to
work on a wide range of systems, you should not assume this call will
succeed.

Even on failure, this routine may affect a subset of the pages
specified.

Return Value
------------

0 on success, -1 on failure.  On failure, ERRNO will be set to `EINVAL'
for illegal input parameters, or `EACCES' if the DPMI server rejected
the attribute setting.

Example
-------

     if (__djgpp_set_page_attributes (my_page_aligned_memory, 16384, 0))
       printf ("Failed to make pages uncommitted!\n");
