Typedef Documentation

typedef int SceKernelSysMemAlloc_t

Enumeration Type Documentation

enum PspSysMemBlockTypes

Specifies the type of allocation used for memory blocks.

Enumerator:

PSP_SMEM_Low	Allocate from the lowest available address.
PSP_SMEM_High	Allocate from the highest available address.
PSP_SMEM_Addr	Allocate from the specified address.

Function Documentation

SceUID sceKernelAllocPartitionMemory	(	SceUID	partitionid,
		const char *	name,
		int	type,
		SceSize	size,
		void *	addr
	)

Allocate a memory block from a memory partition.

Parameters

partitionid	- The UID of the partition to allocate from.
name	- Name assigned to the new block.
type	- Specifies how the block is allocated within the partition. One of PspSysMemBlockTypes.
size	- Size of the memory block, in bytes.
addr	- If type is PSP_SMEM_Addr, then addr specifies the lowest address allocate the block from.

Returns

The UID of the new block, or if less than 0 an error.
