NAME
     ms_$reprotect - change object mapping type

SYNOPSIS (C)
     #include <apollo/base.h>
     #include <apollo/ms.h>

     void ms_$reprotect(
          void *&old_address,
          ms_$acc_mode_t &access,
          unsigned long int &length,
          status_$t *status)

SYNOPSIS (Pascal)
     %include '/sys/ins/base.ins.pas';
     %include '/sys/ins/ms.ins.pas';

     procedure ms_$reprotect(
          in old_address: univ_ptr;
          in access: ms_$acc_mode_t;
          in length: linteger;
          out status: status_$t): univ_ptr;

SYNOPSIS (FORTRAN)
     %include '/sys/ins/base.ins.ftn'
     %include '/sys/ins/ms.ins.ftn'

          integer*4 start, length, status

          integer*4 old_address
          integer*4 dummy
          integer*2 access
          pointer /old_address/ dummy

          call ms_$reprotect(old_address, access, length, status)


DESCRIPTION
     ms_$reprotect changes the type of mapping for a region of the virtual
     addressed space.  The specified region can be an entire previously-mapped
     region or a subset.

     This call cannot be used to increase the rights of a region beyond those
     requested when the region was originally mapped.  For instance, if you
     map a routine with "read" mapping, a call to ms_$reprotect to request
     "read-write" mapping will fail.  However, if you had originally requested
     "read-write" and then remapped to "read" only, you could restore the
     rights to the original "read-write".

     old_address
          Pointer to the currently mapped portion of the object.  Use the
          pointer returned by the most recent call to ms_$mapl, ms_$crmapl, or
          ms_$remap.

     access
          The desired new access.

     length
          The length of the area to have new rights established.

     status
          The completion status.
