the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),

.SH NAME
posix_mem_offset
\(em find offset and length of a mapped typed memory block
(\fBADVANCED REALTIME\fP)
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
#include <sys/mman.h>
.P
int posix_mem_offset(const void *restrict \fIaddr\fP, size_t \fIlen\fP,
    off_t *restrict \fIoff\fP, size_t *restrict \fIcontig_len\fP,
    int *restrict \fIfildes\fP);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
\fIposix_mem_offset\fR()
function shall return in the variable pointed to by
.IR off
a value that identifies the offset (or location), within a memory
object, of the memory block currently mapped at
.IR addr .
The function shall return in the variable pointed to by
.IR fildes ,
the descriptor used (via
\fImmap\fR())
to establish the mapping which contains
.IR addr .
If that descriptor was closed since the mapping was established, the
returned value of
.IR fildes
shall be \-1. The
.IR len
argument specifies the length of the block of the memory object the
user wishes the offset for; upon return, the value pointed to by
.IR contig_len
shall equal either
.IR len ,
or the length of the largest contiguous block of the memory object that
is currently mapped to the calling process starting at
.IR addr ,
whichever is smaller.
.P
If the memory object mapped at
.IR addr
is a typed memory object, then if the
.IR off
and
.IR contig_len
values obtained by calling
\fIposix_mem_offset\fR()
are used in a call to
\fImmap\fR()
with a file descriptor that refers to the same memory pool as
.IR fildes
(either through the same port or through a different port), and that
was opened with neither the POSIX_TYPED_MEM_ALLOCATE nor the
POSIX_TYPED_MEM_ALLOCATE_CONTIG flag,
the typed memory area that is mapped shall be exactly the same area
that was mapped at
.IR addr
in the address space of the process that called
\fIposix_mem_offset\fR().
.P
If the memory object specified by
.IR fildes
is not a typed memory object, then the behavior of this function is
implementation-defined.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
Upon successful completion, the
\fIposix_mem_offset\fR()
function shall return zero; otherwise, the corresponding error status
value shall be returned.
.SH ERRORS
The
\fIposix_mem_offset\fR()
function shall fail if:
.TP
.BR EACCES
The process has not mapped a memory object supported by this function
at the given address
.IR addr .
.P
This function shall not return an error code of
.BR [EINTR] .
