Unmaps a block of transfer memory.

Returns
Result code.
Note
Syscall number 0x52.
Warning
This is a privileged syscall. Use envIsSyscallHinted to check if it is available.

◆ svcWaitForAddress()

Result svcWaitForAddress ( void *  address,
u32  arb_type,
s32  value,
s64  timeout 
)

Arbitrates an address depending on type and value.

[4.0.0+]

Parameters
[in]addressAddress to arbitrate.
[in]arb_typeArbitrationType to use.
[in]valueValue to arbitrate on.
[in]timeoutMaximum time in nanoseconds to wait.
Returns
Result code.
Note
Syscall number 0x34.

◆ svcWaitProcessWideKeyAtomic()

Result svcWaitProcessWideKeyAtomic ( u32 key,
u32 tag_location,
u32  self_tag,
u64  timeout 
)

Performs a condition variable wait operation in userspace.

Returns
Result code.
Note
Syscall number 0x1C.

◆ svcWaitSynchronization()

Result svcWaitSynchronization ( s32 index,
const Handle handles,
s32  handleCount,
u64  timeout 
)

Waits on one or more synchronization objects, optionally with a timeout.

Returns
Result code.
Note
Syscall number 0x18.
handleCount must not be greater than MAX_WAIT_OBJECTS. This is a Horizon kernel limitation.
This is the raw syscall, which can be cancelled by svcCancelSynchronization or other means. waitHandles or waitMultiHandle should normally be used instead.

◆ svcWaitSynchronizationSingle()

static Result svcWaitSynchronizationSingle ( Handle  handle,
u64  timeout 
)
inlinestatic

Waits on a single synchronization object, optionally with a timeout.

Returns
Result code.
Note
Wrapper for svcWaitSynchronization.
This is the raw syscall, which can be cancelled by svcCancelSynchronization or other means. waitSingleHandle should normally be used instead.

◆ svcWriteDebugProcessMemory()

Result svcWriteDebugProcessMemory ( Handle  debug,
const void *  buffer,
u64  addr,
u64  size 
)

Writes to memory in a process that is being debugged.

Returns
Result code.
Note
Syscall number 0x6B.
Warning
This is a privileged syscall. Use envIsSyscallHinted to check if it is available.
